According to reports in the Daily Mail, Manchester City are closing in on a club-record £60m deal to sign Monaco star Bernardo Silva.

The 22-year-old helped his team win the Ligue 1 title and advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League with a string of fine performances, and he is understood to have flown into Manchester last night ahead of a medical today.

The Portugal international, who scored 11 goals and provided a further 12 assists in 58 appearances in all competitions for the French outfit this season, had previously been linked with a move to the Red Devils, although it appears as though Jose Mourinho has turned his attentions elsewhere.

United supporters were quick to have their say on the transfer news via social media, with some believing the signing is a big statement of intent from the arch-rivals, while others are confident that Mourinho and Ed Woodward know what they are doing.
