Manchester United are close to agreeing terms with Portuguese club Oliveirense for teenage forward Bruno Amorim.

The 19-year-old has been on trial at United's Carrington training complex and is expected to join up with the club's Under 23 squad.

Amorim was scouted by United last season after he was promoted to the first team at Oliveirense, who compete in Portugal's second division.

Bruno Amorim is poised to sign for Manchester United after impressing during a trial period

He can play on either wing and is just 5ft 5in tall, but what he lacks in height he makes up for in speed and trickery.

Amorim will join fellow new-boys Largie Ramazani and Aliou Badara Traore in United's U23 side this season.

United have also made notable additions to their senior side, spending £145.7million, with almost half of that going to Everton for the transfer of Romelu Lukaku.

Lukaku could make his United debut, along with Nemanja Matic and Victor Lindelof, on Sunday when United begin their Premier League campaign at home to West Ham.
