- Stephen Godonu:
Edinson Cavani and Alex Telles are at Manchester United’s Carrington training complex ahead of their of their deadline day move to the club.
Cavani, who is a free agent after leaving Paris Saint-Germain at the end of last season, is set to sign a two-year deal and will provide some valuable experience to United’s youthful forward line.
Telles is expected to arrive at Old Trafford on a five-year deal after United agreed a £15.4m deal with Porto on Sunday, just hours after the Portuguese club turned down the initial offer. The 27-year-old left-back – who is into the final year of his Porto contract – will fly to Brazil to join up with the national team once he has completed his move to United.
Cavani and Telles may not be the only two arrivals at Old Trafford on Deadline Day, although United must complete any deals before 11pm, when the Premier League’s transfer window closes.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been keen to sign a winger for the entire window and United have been in talks with Barcelona over a loan move for Ousmane Dembele, although both Barca and the 23-year-old are understood to prefer a permanent deal.
