Manchester United are set to complete a signing from Real Madrid.
Manchester United have reportedly agreed a deal with Real Madrid youngster Alvaro Fernandez Carreras, who will pen a four-year deal at Old Trafford.
Spanish publication AS claim the 17-year-old is excited by the project proposed to him by United chiefs.
Alvaro, who has featured at left-back for Real's Juvenil C team this season, reached the end of his contract at the Bernabeu on June 30.
A host of top European clubs, including Manchester City, have attempted to lure the highly-rated defender.
But AS report that United have won the race for the teenager's signature and he will become Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's first summer signing.
Alvaro will predominantly play for the Red Devils' youth team but he has been told there may be first-team opportunities should any injuries arise to Luke Shaw or Brandon Williams.
The full-back came through the youth team at Deportivo La Coruna, and Real pipped Barcelona to his signature three years ago.
Zinedine Zidane's side were keen to keep hold of the youngster but the bright lights of the Premier League have drawn him in.
Although not a player for the immediate future, Alvaro will take part in some senior team training sessions.
Meanwhile, United will press ahead with their plans to strengthen other areas of the squad and are still holding out for top target Jadon Sancho.
