Man Utd reach agreement for £52.5m man Fred
The Brazil international has moved a step closer to completing a switch to Old Trafford, with the Red Devils now having a deal in place with Shakhtar
Manchester United have moved a step closer to completing the £52.5 million ($70m) signing of Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Fred, with the club confirming that agreement has been reached.
With a deal having been in the pipeline for some time, Goal confirmed on Monday that the Brazil international had arrived in England to undergo a medical.
Fred’s former manager at Shakhtar, Mircea Lucescu, then confirmed that a move had been made, with the 25-year-old taking a much-deserved step up onto a Premier League stage.
