Sir Alex Ferguson is signing Serbians Adam Ljajic and Zoran Tosic for £9million.
They will join Manchester United in January if granted work permits.
A fee has been agreed with Partizan Belgrade and applications for the necessary clearance already submitted.
Ljajic, 17 - dubbed "the new Kaka" - has been to Old Trafford for talks and a trial.
Landing the midfielder despite interest from Real Madrid would be a coup for Ferguson, particularly as the Bernabeu sporting director, Predrag Mijatovic, is a Serbia legend.
Partizan officials have been to Manchester to sign an agreement, with winger Tosic, who has been capped 12 times by his country, coming as part of the package.
Tosic, 21, is nicknamed Bambi and can play on either flank.
Details of the individual cost of each player have not been released, but Ljajic was rated at £7m when first linked with United.
