Manchester United refuse to give up the battle for Porto fullback Danilo.
The Daily Mail says Danilo has agreed to join Real Madrid ahead of next season, despite manager Carlo Ancelotti insisting a deal has not been completed.
And United have contacted Porto chiefs for definitive confirmation over the Brazil international's mooted switch to Spain.
Louis van Gaal remains a big admirer of Danilo and is reluctant to end his interest in the defender.
