He said: "He had been promoted to the main squad, but the scouting (Manchester United) was already aware and decided to take him there to experience.

"At this time the business is 90% done and he can have an excellent contract.

"The contract will shortly be announced, but it is a future bet on United."

Dubbed as one of the most exciting youngsters in Portugal, he impressed United scouts after his seven appearances in the third-tier where he helped them to promotion.

He is set to link up with Nicky Butt's Under-23 side, joining Largie Ramazani and Aliou Badara Traore who were also brought in this summer.

🏰 Betting tips: Man United to win and Lukaku to score first, 3/1 🏰

UNITED TO BEAT WEST HAM & LUKAKU TO SCORE FIRST, 3/1

THEY call it God's day. But they are wrong.

It's Jose Mourinho's day.

The Man United boss has NEVER lost at home on a Sunday.

And he is not about to start now.

The Special One has managed in 112 home Sunday games with Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Man United.

Amazingly, his record is W86, D26, L0.

We like Sun Bets' 3/1 that Romelu Lukaku will score first in a United win against West Ham on Sunday.

You can add it to you betslip with Sun Bets here.

It appears that United will pay a minimal fee to Oliveirense to bring the teenager to Old Trafford.

Leite added: "We’ll receive training rights because he’s always been trained here, although in monetary terms it may not be more than that.

"These details are not yet defined.

“But the training rights and future sales of the player are guaranteed gains."
