Brazil midfielder Fred has arrived at Carrington on Monday ahead of his £52million move from Shakhtar Donetsk to Manchester United.

 

A Mercedes van understood to be carrying Fred was pictured arriving at the Red Devils’ HQ on Monday morning.

 

Reports in Brazil indicated that a deal to become United’s first signing of the summer is so close that the player is due to use his time in the north-west to head to Old Trafford for a medical.

 

Official announcement from Manchester United is all that’s left to confirm the news.
