In the Palmeiras academy, there is a young footballer who is gradually generating strong interest among several elite European teams. This would be Thalys Henrique, a 19-year-old forward born in 2005 who, according to the Brazilian press, is reportedly being scouted by Manchester United.
This forward, known as “the new Endrick,” has earned that nickname not only for his footballing similarities with the Real Madrid’s recent signing but also because he is expected to be Palmeiras’ next big money sale, reaching similar levels to Endrick’s sale to the Madrid club.

Manchester United is already sounding out the “new Endrick”: Thalys Henrique Gomes de Araújo
According to ESPN Brazil, Palmeiras would be aware of Manchester United’s concrete interest in the services of Thalys Henrique.
The English club, which aims to undergo a total revolution in its squad in the upcoming transfer window, could try to finalize the signing of the young Brazilian footballer, being the chosen one to cover the departure of Anthony Martial, the French forward who will end his contract with the Manchester club.
Recently, Thalys signed a contract extension with Palmeiras until 2026, but the agreed figure in his release clause was not revealed. Therefore, Verdão could demand a multimillion-dollar figure, “a la Endrick,” to accept the sale of this 19-year-old gem.
Manchester United would have closely monitored Thalys’s development, as they have reportedly been following him closely for two years, so the new project, led by INEOS, would not hesitate to bet a substantial sum on him.
