Nani passes United medical

12 April 2012

Portugal winger Nani has passed a medical at Manchester United and now just needs international clearance before joining the Premiership champions.

United announced last week they had agreed a deal to sign the 20-year-old from Sporting Lisbon.

Following the completion of his medical at Carrington, Nani - who along with Porto midfielder Anderson cost United a total of £30million - was given a tour of Old Trafford on Wednesday.

Another summer signing, England midfielder Owen Hargreaves, will complete his £17million move from Bayern Munich on July 1.

United are in the process of applying for a work permit for Anderson but are not expected to get one initially as the player has not featured for Brazil yet.

Instead it is expected they will get one on appeal as the 19-year-old has been named in his country's Copa America squad.
