Firmino to join Man Utd?

The agent of Hoffenheim forward Roberto Firmino has confirmed that his client is moving to England next season.

Roger Wittmann, who represents the 23-year-old, would not reveal where the striker's exact destination was -- although he has recently been linked with a move to Manchester United.

"All I can say is that he's moving to England," Wittmann told Germany's Bild newspaper.

It may take a while before a deal is announced, though, since the Brazil international is currently representing his country at the Copa America.

However, all of the formalities -- including a medical -- may be completed while Firmino is in South America to enable him to complete what could be a club record transfer for the Bundesliga outfit.
