Deal AGREED: Manchester United set to an announce signing Porto defender

Manchester United will apparently complete a move for Porto left-back Alex Telles on Monday.

The Old Trafford club have been emphatically connected with the Brazil defender throughout the most recent couple of weeks, but it had been asserted that they faced missing out on a deal because of Porto’s asking price for the left-back.

Notwithstanding, there has been development on the deal over the last 24 hours, and as per Italian columnist Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United will  announce the South American’s move on Monday.

Fabrizio Romano claims that Alex Telles is presently in Manchester and ready to sign a five-year contract with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side, who are also close to agreeing a deal for experienced striker Edinson Cavani.
