Neil Warnock and his staff will continue to run the rule over former Portsmouth defender Ricardo Rocha.

The 33-year-old centre-back, who made 76 appearances for the south coast club before being part of their mass exodus during the summer, has been training with United over the past 10 days.

He played in the Development Squad win against Barnsley on Monday, alongside another trialist defender, and the boss says he will be keep a close eye on a player who cost Tottenham £3.3m when he joined from Benfica in 2007.

"He played a game the other day and he's trained with us," said the boss.

"We'll have a good look at him. You don't want to tamper too much or change for the sake of it but if anyone and come in and do a job we'll look at that."
