RASMUS HOJLUND will jet into Manchester on Tuesday to undergo a medical ahead of his £72million move to Manchester United, according to reports.
The Red Devils are closing in on securing the Danish striker, 20, after agreeing a fee with Italian side Atalanta.
It consists of £64m plus £8m in add-ons.
Man Utd have also settled personal terms with the player – who is set to sign a five-year contract with the option of an additional 12 months.
According to The Athletic, his medical will take place on Tuesday as the completion of his transfer grows nearer.
The 20-year-old only joined Atalanta last summer in a £14.5m move from Austrian side Sturm Graz.

Hojlund scored nine goals in 32 Serie A appearances after breaking into the starting XI.
In total, he has 27 career goals – meaning United will be paying out £2.6m per strike.
But it's his impact as a versatile targetman that has caught the eye of manager Erik ten Hag.
The Dutchman was hoping for a similar result from January loan signing Wout Weghorst, who failed to net a single league goal in 17 outings.
