Manchester United to sign teenage goalkeeper from Benfica?

Benfica youngster Joao Virginia is reportedly expected to be revealed as a Manchester United player in the coming days.

Manchester United have reportedly agreed a deal to sign 15-year-old goalkeeper Joao Virginia from Benfica this summer.

The teenage stopper is said to have had a trial at United last year, where he left a lasting impression on scouts who have closely followed his development since.

Virginia is currently the first-choice keeper at youth level at Benfica, meaning that the Portuguese club may be reluctant to let him leave.

However, reports in Portugal suggest that the Red Devils have indeed reached an agreement to land the star, with an announcement due to be made in the near future.

Man United have previously signed Cristiano Ronaldo, Anderson and Nani from Primeira Liga sides.
