Nemanja Matic will undergo a medical at Manchester United in the next 48 hours.
The Chelsea midfielder is set to reunite with former boss Jose Mourinho in a deal worth £40million, according to the Sun.
Matic is expected to pocket around £155,000-a-week at Old Trafford as Chelsea line up his replacement in Monaco’s Tiemoue Bakayoko.
The 28-year-old was signed by the Portuguese boss for £21m in January 2014 where he helped guide Chelsea to the Premier League title.
And he is set to replace veteran Michael Carrick who turns 36 next month.
