MANCHESTER UNITED are attempting to secure a double deal for Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Fred and Porto defender Diogo Dalot this summer.

Jose Mourinho is eyeing a swift swoop for both players before the World Cup gets underway in less than two weeks time.
Fred was set to join Manchester City in January before a move fell through.
But according to Italian transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, a transfer to Old Trafford should be completed in the coming days.
On Twitter, the journalist responded to a fan by writing: "Fred I know is done as I said."
But as for Mourinho's other transfer target, Porto right-back Dalot, Di Marzio claims a deal isn't quite completed yet.
Still waiting [on an] agreement between clubs
"Dalot no medicals yet," he continued to Tweet.
"Still waiting agreement between clubs."
Dalot, 19, is regarded as one of the hottest prospects in Portugal at present.
The youngster has impressed playing for the country's under-21 side in recent years, while failing to gain many minutes on the pitch for Porto's first-team.
Elsewhere, United have been linked with a move for West Ham star Marko Arnautovic.
Mourinho was reportedly scouting the star during Austria's clash with Russia last week.
However, the Portuguese boss has also been keeping tabs on CSKA Moscow youngster Aleksandr Golovin.
