Alex Tales: Manchester United Porto left-back agreed in principle football news

However, talks resumed on Sunday morning, with Porto United changing their views on the latest bid – confirming that Old Trafford’s next offer was unlikely after the Premier League club’s transfer window closed at 11pm on Monday.
