United have ‘held talks’ over Vitinha deal
According to various reports in the Portuguese media, Manchester United have ‘held talks’ with super-agent Jorge Mendes about the prospect of bringing Porto midfielder Vitinha to Old Trafford.
According to a report by Record, the midfielder, who has a £34million release clause in his contract, is ‘destined’ for a move to the Premier League this summer.

De Jong deal enters ‘decisive stage’
Frenkie de Jong’s move from Barcelona to Manchester United has reportedly entered a ‘decisive stage’ after the Catalan giants identified a replacement.
The Red Devils want to sign the Dutch midfielder, 25, in time for their pre-season tour of Asia and Australia. New manager Erik ten Hag worked with De Jong at Ajax before he joined Barcelona in July 2019, winning the Eredivisie title and KVNB Cup in 2018-19.
United have already had a £60million bid for De Jong rejected and are expected to make another, improved offer shortly. Barcelona will reportedly let the player leave the club for the right price to reduce their debt – standing at £1billion last year – and wage bill, with a view to making signings of their own.
According to Calciomercato, Juventus met with Arsenal target Gabriel Jesus’ agents this week as the Brazilian seeks a move away from the Manchester City.
