United Splash £31m On Whizkids
Manchester United splashed out an amazing £31million on two superkids yesterday. The Premiership champions signed Brazilian Anderson, 19, for £17m from Porto and Sporting Lisbon’s Nani, 20, for £14m. A United statement read: “Terms are agreed with both players and an announcement will take place once a medical and other procedures are done.” Hitman Anderson has been one of the most sought-after young talents since he was crowned player of the tournament in the 2005 World Under-17 Championships. He was recently named in Brazil’s preliminary squad for this summer’s Copa America - but not tomorrow’s friendly with England at Wembley. United manager Alex Ferguson also expects to wrap up the signing of Bayern Munich’s England midfielder Owen Hargreaves, 26, this weekend for £17m. This would take Fergie’s summer spree to £48m - and he still wants to sign a striker.

Brazilian teenager Anderson admits his move to United is 'a dream the size of the world', and he cannot wait to play in the same team as Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney.
The Daily Mail claims goalkeeper Ben Foster could miss a large section of next season after undergoing surgery on a recurrent knee injury.
Meanwhile, Ryan Giggs admits his decision to quit international football was fuelled by the desire to prolong his United career.
