Manchester United are dealt a transfer blow as Porto midfielder Vitinha 'prepares for PSG medical'... while Erik ten Hag's Old Trafford rebuild continues to move at a slow pace

Manchester United have suffered a blow in their pursuit of Porto midfielder Vitinha who is set for a medical at Paris Saint-Germain.

The 22-year-old has attracted interest from Premier League clubs including United but a €40million (£34m) bid from the French champions will be enough to secure the services of the talented midfielder.

The news comes as a blow to United who have made a slow start to the summer transfer window despite a desperate need for reinforcements at Old Trafford.
