Derek Brazil is one of the most popular and richest Football Player who was born on December 14, 1968 in Dublin, Ireland.
He played in a friendly match between the Ireland under-18 side and the Manchester United first-team and was tasked with marking Frank Stapleton. Despite Stapleton scoring a hat-trick in the match, Brazil was offered a three and a half year contract by manager Ron Atkinson. Brazil later stated: “He (Atkinson) told me I’d played really well because Frank could have scored ten but I’d made so many tackles.” He signed a contract with Manchester United in March 1986 at the age of 17. During his time at Old Trafford, Atkinson was replaced as manager by Alex Ferguson and he later handed Brazil his debut as a substitute during a 2–1 defeat to Everton on 10 May 1989. His only other appearance for United was a second substitute appearance, replacing Viv Anderson during a 2–1 victory over Millwall 10 months later on 10 February
- Brazil frequently became homesick in Manchester and was regularly allowed to return home for several days by Ferguson.
During his time at Old Trafford, he spent time on loan with Oldham Athletic and Swansea City, joining the Swans in September 1991 and playing 12 league matches at Vetch Field before returning to Manchester. Swansea had expressed an interest in making the deal permanent but were unable to afford the £250,000 price tag that United had quoted.
