Manchester United have agreed a deal with Chelsea for midfielder Andrey Santos, sources have told ESPN.

United are set to play an initial fee of £48 million ($64m) for the 22-year-old Brazilian with another £2m ($2.3m) due in potential add-ons.

Personal terms are already in place and Santos has been given permission by Chelsea to undergo a medical.
