Sporting Lisbon's U21 international Cristiano Ronaldo has signed a five-year £8m deal with Manchester United, according to Portuguese television reports.
The player's agent, Jorge Mendes, is said to have met United representatives on Monday.
The 18-year old striker played in last Wednesday's pre-season friendly to celebrate the opening of the new Alvalade XXI stadium which will feature at next year's Euro 2004 finals.
The match ended 3-1 to the Portuguese hosts.
The news comes just hours after it was confirmed that Brazilian World Cup winner Kleberson had been granted a work permit.
Kleberson is set to become the first Brazilian to play for the Premiership champions.
He now only needs to tie up a few minor details and is set to complete his £6m move on Tuesday.
Thats an english translation. IT does seem he is on his way :danc:
