The producer of Football Focus on BBC World News, Simon Ellis-Jone, has reported that Celtic look likely to beat struggling Manchester United to the signing of young Portuguese starlet Carlos Mane.
I understand #Celtic are close to beating #mufc to the signing of Sporting Lisbon winger Carlos Mane. Would be a massive coup.

The 19 year old, who joined Sporting Lisbon as a 7 year old, has been in outstanding form for their B team and is tipped to go on to big things.
For those that don't remember, the last second last time United signed a young up-and-coming Portuguese star from Sporting Lisbon, he went on to make a bit of a name for himself.
