The Red Devils have a deal in place for the Brazil international, with Jose Mourinho having made his first move for a summer target back in April
Manchester United made their first move to land Fred back in April, Shakhtar Donetsk’s CEO has revealed, with the Red Devils eager to beat the competition to a £52.5 million (€60m/$70m) midfielder.
The Red Devils now have a deal in place for the Brazil international, with the finishing touches being put on a move to England.
United appeared set to face competition for his signature at one stage, with arch-rivals Manchester City among the other sides to have been linked with the highly rated 25-year-old.
