Got what it takes"He has definitely got what it takes to score a lot of goals away from home," said Neville. "I have no doubt he can help us get to where we want to go before the end of the season. "From the moment he walked in here, I have taken a shine to him. You would never have thought a lad from Bury would strike up a rapport with a lad from Brazil, but he has been a breath of fresh air. "You could see the first time he trained with us he had an awful lot of ability. He remained me of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the way he can finish.
