- United claim double coup
Manchester United have agreed a double deal for FC Porto midfielder Anderson and Sp Lisbon winger Nani.
United have agreed fees with the two Portuguese clubs involved and tied up personal terms with the players, who only need to pass medicals to complete their moves to Old Trafford.
A statement on United's official club website confirmed: "Personal terms have been agreed and a formal announcement will take place once the necessary administrative procedures, including medicals have been completed."
Brazilian attacking midfielder Anderson, 19, joined Porto towards the end of 2005 from Gremio, having made his name at the World Under-17 Championships earlier that year.
Portugal international winger Nani, 20, had also been a reported target for Tottenham Hotspur, but now looks set to follow another former Sporting star, Cristiano Ronaldo, to Old Trafford.
The capture of the teenage duo comes with United also close to sealing the signing of England midfielder Owen Hargreaves from Bayern Munich.
