William Carvalho is set to become Manchester United’s first big summer signing, writes Steve Bates of the Sunday People.

The Sporting Lisbon defensive ­midfielder’s agent was given a tour of the club’s Carrington training ground last week and Portuguese international Carvalho will sign for United for £37million before the World Cup finals in Brazil.

Instead of now "disappeared" Januzaj

Adnan absence explained

David Moyes admits Adnan Januzaj has been used sparingly in recent weeks because he does not want the 19-year-old to suffer from exhaustion.

Januzaj made his United debut in August and has since become the breakout star of the 2013/14 season with three goals and 29 appearances to his name. As a result, the Belgian-born youngster has also become a firm fans' favourite at Old Trafford.

Despite such a blistering start to his Reds career, Adnan has featured in just two matches in March and was notably not involved in Tuesday's 3-0 home defeat to Manchester City. However, as Moyes explains, there are valid reasons behind his absences.

"I think Adnan has played an incredible amount of games for an 19-year-old," the boss told reporters at the Aon Training Complex on Friday. "We have to be mindful of that. We have seen signs in training that we have to be careful what we do with him.

"He is a great talent and he is someone we know will go a long way at Manchester United. But we are just being careful with him. We have to do the right things and he has played a lot of football."

Moyes has injury worries

David Moyes admits he could be facing a selection headache in defence for Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final tie against Bayern Munich.

Rafael was withdrawn at half-time in the 4-1 beating of Aston Villa due to injury after Antonio Valencia, another option at right-back, was unavailable. With Patrice Evra suspended for midweek, at least Alex Büttner got through the 90 minutes, even if he stayed down for a spell after winning a brave header during the build-up to Juan Mata's goal.

"With Rafael, it's an injury and we need to check it out," revealed Moyes. "Valencia had a bit of tendinitis in his knee, which is why he wasn't involved. He was probably one I would have put to full-back if we had lost one, so we knew we'd be short if that was the case.

"The young boy Guillermo Varela might have got on the bench but he was injured as well so we had to juggle it around. We have injuries but we will probably know more about them tomorrow. I've just got to hope that Rafa's injury isn't too bad."
