Lille defender Leny Yoro is flying to the UK for a medical with Manchester United after a deal worth over £50m was agreed.
Man Utd have agreed personal terms in principle with the 18-year-old.
It was thought Real Madrid were the Frenchman’s preference, but Man Utd have been working to convince him to join.
There is still work to do as a deal is not fully done, but Man Utd are now optimistic they can get it over the line.
Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite and Bayern Munich’s Matthijs de Ligt are players Man Utd still admire – and remain options, subject to having budget and squad space available as window evolves.
