That means nothing.. Man Utd. have cash to burn, and if it was a smaller club, there's no way that they'd pay that amount for a defender of his quality. He's not bad, but he's not super either.
Rio doesn't have the strength or solidity that Legro does, and as a forward i'd be more worried about facing Legro than Rio, who seems to get turned easily, and is sometimes afraid to make the challenge at the crucial moment.
