1 William Carvalho

Manchester United have agreed a stunning deal to sign Sporting Lisbon star William Carvalho.

David Moyes will overhaul his under-performing squad in the summer and Carvalho will be the first of a host of new arrivals at Old Trafford.

talkSPORT understands United have already agreed a fee of around £35million with Sporting Lisbon and finalised terms with the midfielder on a five-year contract, although the deal will not be made official until the transfer window opens.

The signing of Carvalho, who is set to feature for Portugal in this summer’s World Cup, will be seen as a major coup for under-pressure Red Devils boss Moyes.

United have been monitoring the 22-year-old all season and beaten off competition from Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Liverpool and Monaco, who have strong links to his agent Jorge Mendes.

Moyes and chief executive Ed Woodward are keen to get their business done before the World Cup and United are also looking to sort deals for Southampton duo Adam Lallana and Luke Shaw.
