Manchester United 'agree deal for Anderson Talisca' Manchester United have agreed a deal to sign Anderson Talisca from Benfica this summer, according to reports. The 23-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford in recent months having scored 16 goals in 31 appearances during a loan spell at Besiktas last season, helping the Turkish outfit to the league title. Turkish newspaper AMK now claims that Talisca has agreed terms with the Red Devils ahead of a permanent move away from Benfica.
