Manchester United’s £52.5 million ($70m) move for Brazil international midfielder Fred has been confirmed by his former boss at Shakhtar Donetsk, Mircea Lucescu.
Goal confirmed on Monday that the 25-year-old had arrived in England to undergo a medical.
With a deal close to completion, the Red Devils appear to have secured themselves a top target for the summer transfer window.
Lucescu, a man who helped to mould Fred into the player he is today, certainly believes that a deal will go through.
He feels United have pulled off quite a coup, with a top talent heading to World Cup 2018 considered to be ready for the step up to a Premier League stage.
