Mirandinha became the first Brazilian to play in the football league when he joined United
for a fee of £575,000 from Palmeiras in August 1987. He scored his first goals for the club
when netting a double in a 2-2 draw at Manchester United on 12th September 1987.
Mirandinha is pictured above during the 3-1 defeat against Aston Villa.
