Man Utd agree deal with Hoffenheim ace Roberto Firmino

Manchester United have reportedly agreed a deal with Roberto Firmino.


ESPN reports that the Brazilian midfielder is set to join the Red Devils from German club Hoffenheim for a fee of £13.1million.

United have been linked with the 23-year old for some time and it appears as though Louis van Gaal has now got his man.

Firmino starred for Hoffenheim last season, scoring seven goals and providing 10 assists, and now looks to be on his way to Old Trafford where he will arrive as the second summer signing following the club's earlier capture of Dutch winger Memphis Depay from PSV Eindhoven.
