The Sporting Lisbon defensive midfielder’s agent was given a tour of the club’s Carrington training ground last week and Portuguese international Carvalho will sign for United for £37million before the World Cup finals in Brazil.
United boss David Moyes is also confident he could land Bayern Munich midfielder Toni Kroos, Southampton £26m for England left-back Luke Shaw and also Real Madrid star Fabio Coentrao. They are all keen to move to Old Trafford even though United may miss out on Champions League football next season.
United’s executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward has been working hard to put deals in place and Sporting’s highly-rated youngster Carvalho looks like being the first of at least FIVE major signings.
