Manchester United are reportedly set to complete the signing of teenage Oliveirense striker Bruno Amorim.

The 19-year-old attacker’s move is 90 per cent done, according to the Portuguese club’s director Antonio Jose Leite, as reported in the Daily Express.

“He had been promoted to the main squad but (United’s) scout was alert and decided to take him there,” Leite told Noticias ao Minuto.

“At this time the business is 90 per cent done and he may have an excellent contract ahead.

“The contract will shortly be announced, but he is a future bet at United.

“We’ll receive training rights, because he’s always been trained here, although in monetary terms it may not be more than that because there may be other exchanges.

“These details are not yet defined. But the training rights and future sales of the player are guaranteed gains.”

Amorim, who has just a year left on his contract with Oliveirense, is expected to link up with United’s Under-23 squad this season.
