Manchester United has agreed to personal terms with 21-year-old Mateus Fernandes, signaling a strong interest in finalizing a transfer. However, a significant fee gap remains between United's proposal of £65 million plus add-ons and West Ham's demand of over £80 million.

United is expected to make a formal bid soon to test West Ham's resolve on the asking price.
