And according to Sky Sports, the player's medical at United will take place on Monday.

The Brazilian was expected to sign for Manchester City in January before a move fell through.
And national team boss Tite has admitted he is happy the move is going through before the World Cup.
"When there is a club-related matter, which is inevitable, they will put it to us and the goal is to resolve it as soon as possible to get the mind geared towards the national team," he told reporters on Sunday.
"If I were a coach, I would ask him to sign him, too."
Fred will replace Michael Carrick, who has departed to join Mourinho's coaching team.
