"I’m so happy to join Manchester City... Everyone knows they are the best team in the world right now," Savinho said in a statement.

Manchester United have signed 18-year-old French defender Leny Yoro from Lille on a five-year contract, as they bid to shore up their defence.

Sources say United agreed to a $67.56 million fee for Yoro, who has played 60 games for Lille. The centre-back, who made 41 appearances last term, was named in the Ligue 1 team of the season after helping Lille finish fourth and secure a Champions League qualifying spot.

United forward Mason Greenwood has joined Olympique de Marseille on a five-year deal, the clubs said. British media reported that the 22-year-old United academy product will cost the Ligue 1 club up to 31.6 million euros.

Greenwood made 129 appearances and scored 35 goals for United.
