Champions start summer deals with 3 palyers on the verge of joining united

Manchester United are on the verge of signing two new players Anderson from FC Porto, and Nani for Sporting Lisbon. Manchester United, have also confirmed that England midfielder and Munich player Owen Hargreaves will join them from the first of July.
Anderson described his move to Old Trafford as a 'dream come true'.
I'm sure a lot of people have never heard of Anderson and Nani, before here is a profile of both player.

Anderson

Full name: Anderson Luis De Abreu Oliveira
Nationality: Brazilian
Age: 19 (Born: 13 April 1988)
Position Attacking midfielder
Fee: Reports vary between £15m and £20m

Still a teenager the Brazilian has made a huge impact he is already in the Brazilian national squad, and some people dream about him becoming the new Ronaldinio. Born in Barcelona, he started his carrer at Gremio, where they consider him a pretty good player, after scoring the goal that sent them back into the top flight in a brutal match against Nautico in 2005.

He moved to Europe later that year, and made his Porto debut a little over twelve months ago, where he helped his club to the double.

Anderson says: "I could not imagine I would ever get to work with a manager like Sir Alex Ferguson but it has happened. It is a dream the size of the world."

Nani
Full name: Luis Carlos Almeida da Cunha
Nationality: Portuguese
Age: 20 (Born: 17 April 1986)
Position Attacking midfielder
Fee: Anything between £11.5m and £17m say the reports

Nani has long been linked with a move to Manchester united, ever since he stated 'it would be dream to play with Critiano Ronaldo'

Born on the Cape Verde Islands off the west coast of Africa, he came through the Sporting Academy, a route previously taken by Ronaldo and Luis Figo, once his family had upped sticks for Lisbon.

Having made his debut as an 18-year-old, Nani became a part of the first-team squad at the start of the 2005/06 season and soon got his chance to impress.

Nani says: "The Premier League is one of the best leagues in the world and it will be a big challenge. I am prepared to go to England because I believe I will progress there."

Looks like United are doing well with there summer sighnings, people have been saying the pr esent United squad will be the Sir Alex Fugeson will build, but the sighnings of Nani and Anderson looks like a start of a new one. If Anderson does become the next Ronaldinio (maybe nowadays you would say the next Ronaldo) united will have two Ronaldino's.
