UNITED TO SIGN YOUNGSTER

Manchester United are believed to have brokered a deal for 15-year-old Walsall prodigy Evandro Brandao.

According to reports in Portugal, the Under-17 international has agreed to leave The Bescot Stadium for Old Trafford on a two-year deal after the two clubs came to a financial agreement.

The deal for the striker is expected to be ratified when Brandao returns from international duty, with the teenager then set to join compatriots Carlos Queiroz and Cristiano Ronaldo at the English giants.
