MAN UTD CHIEFS AGREE TO FUND BIG-MONEY MOVES FOR DUO Manchester United chiefs have reportedly agreed to fund a £155million double transfer swoop for Benfica pair Joao Felix and Ruben Dias.

Felix is an exciting attacking star who has been likened to Cristiano Ronaldo, while Diaz is a defender who has been tipped to break straight into United’s first XI. Diaz, 21, is being viewed as a potentially cheaper option than other major United targets Kalidou Koulibaly and Matthijs de Ligt – with the latter still being tipped to join Barcelona.
