United are close to agreeing a deal for Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Fred as well as Tottenham Hotspur defender Toby Alderweireld.

That deal could likely happen sooner, as Shakhtar are looking to command a fee in the region of £52 million. Jose is believed to have won the race for Fred, as United are said to have an agreement in place with the Ukrainian side.
