The Brazilian press reported that Manchester United were interested in Ricardo Mathias and observed him in person on multiple occasions. It appeared that Manchester United distanced themselves from Mathias because of his €65 million release clause, and transfer speculation concerning the player and the club has subsided.

Goal.com reports on the scouting and potential transfer developments involving Internacional striker Ricardo Mathias. Manchester United had scouts track the 19-year-old Internacional striker Ricardo Mathias last month. However, their hopes of signing him may be dashed as Al-Nassr has made a formal approach.

The Sun has reported that Manchester United is showing interest in Internacional's promising young striker, Ricardo Mathias. The club is said to be considering a potential transfer for Mathias, who is highly rated. Recently, Manchester United sent their scout, Alexandre Torres, to observe him during Internacional's Copa do Brasil match against Fluminense. Mathias is valued at £56.2 million and has been garnering attention from major European clubs, including Manchester United. Alexandre Torres, who attended the match, is a former player and the son of Brazilian football legend Carlos Alberto Torres; he currently serves as a scout for United. Although Mathias came off the bench during the game, his brief appearance reportedly impressed Torres. The young forward demonstrated glimpses of his potential through his sharp movement, strong positioning, and physical presence.
