Telles (right) will sign a five-year contract and will be joined today by Penarol winger Facundo Pellistri, 18, who United are signing for £10m. Telles’s arrival has prompted Southampto­n to ask about Brandon Williams.

■ TOTTENHAM are expecting a last-ditch £6m loan offer from Paris Saint-Germain for unsettled Dele Alli today. Spurs are adamant that the 24-year-old is staying but the fact he is on the periphery of Jose Mourinho’s plans has given PSG encouragem­ent.
