Man U land Nani and Anderson

Manchester United have agreed deals to sign Sporting Lisbon's Nani and Porto starlet Anderson.

The midfield duo are regarded as two of the best young talents in Europe and they have been chased by several of Europe's top clubs.

However, United have stolen a march on their rivals by luring the pair to Old Trafford.

United chief executive David Gill and assistant manager Carlos Queiroz flew to Lisbon on Wednesday to hold talks with Sporting regarding Portuguese international Nani and they have quickly agreed a move for the exciting winger.

Nani is highly-rated in Portugal and has been likened to current United star Cristiano Ronaldo.

Tottenham have been credited with an interest in Nani, but United have won the race for his signature.

Brazilian ace Anderson has been widely dubbed 'the new Ronaldinho'.

Anderson has enjoyed a successful season with Porto, helping them win the Portuguese championship.

The 19-year-old has attracted the interest of a host of clubs including Chelsea and Barcelona, but United have agreed an undisclosed fee with Porto for the exciting midfielder.

Both players have agreed personal terms with United and they are due to have a medicals at the club in the near future.

A United statement read: ""Manchester United is delighted to announce it has agreed terms in principle with FC Porto and Sporting Lisbon for the purchase of the registrations of Anderson and Nani.

"Personal terms have been agreed and a formal announcement will take place once the necessary administrative procedures, including medicals, have been completed."

Should the duo tie up the minor details of the moves they will become United's first signings of the summer.

[Arsenal_Gunners]

^^No,but arsenal groom players,not some ready made "wonderkid" stuff,even thierry henry is an Arsenal product.
We all know glazers are paying for it,as you have won just 1 trophy in what, 3-4 years.

we have won many trophies before that so we did work hard to reach where we are..what have chelski done..have they won trophies??? no...

uniteds money was earned through success, chelseas wealth was generated by one individual. if any club comes into money they are going to spend it. i.e.pompey.

Last season we lost Keane, then sold Ruud £10 mil, Mikel £12 mil and David Jones £1 mil = £23 mil sales.

We signed Carrick £14 mil rising to £18 mil.

That results in a transfer profit of £5 mil. Impossible to buy the title without actually spending. People like to say this every time when we have a history of bringing players through like Beckham, Giggs, Scholes...ect

Heh!and you guys blame chelsea for trying to 'buy' the trophies.

whatever we do...we get the trophies

u dont !!!!!!!!!!!!

& this is for united fans...watch the skills of anderson...amazing

[prateek_san]

i always felt that we needed a Brazilian..... and we might have got one....

YAAR that was awesome stuff...... brazilians can really play well man..

 

[Arsenal_Gunners]

@ssk Lol You saying that ManU "earned" all the money?
and don't forget,you didnt win 'trophies'

 

[techtronic]

@ least, we won the premiership this year.
I agree with ssk_the_gr8. Without Abrahamovich's Money Power, Chelsea would not be the team they are now.

Impressive. And I just checked out Nani and the prospect of watching these two teaming up with Rooney, Ronaldo, Giggs and others in attacking midfield is mouthwatering. I just hope they jell in and settle down quickly at life in Old Trafford.

 

[Arsenal_Gunners]

they would be at their best after giggs' and scholes' retirement.

 

[Apollo]

I don't think we'd have to wait that long, honestly. I don't think SAF will throw them into the thick of things straight away, but it will be a gradual process. He definitely has long term plans for them - I think it is safe to say that . I just don't want to see a repeat episode of the likes of Kleberson, when he promised so much but failed to live upto the expectations.

 

[Arsenal_Gunners]

No,they are direct replacement of oldies,I cant see them getting a regular place with giggs and scholes playing.The Nani guy is a left winger(giggs' position)
and Anderson prefers central midfield(scholes' position)
