Manchester United have agreed a £15million deal with Swansea City to sign winger Daniel James.
Sportsmail revealed earlier this month that United had emerged as frontrunners to sign the speedy and exciting 21-year-old Wales international.
And an agreement is now in place between the two clubs as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer begins rebuilding his United squad for the long-term.
Brighton, who have just appointed James's boss at Swansea Graham Potter, Everton and Newcastle United were also interested in James but United offered the most attractive transfer fee and wages.
James has caught United's eye after enjoying a breakthrough season at Swansea, making 38 appearances, scoring five times and setting up 10 goals.
He has also broken into the Wales set up during this campaign, playing twice for former United winger Ryan Giggs' senior side and scoring on his competitive home debut against Slovakia.
James is capable of playing on either flank and through the middle but United have earmarked him for a right-wing role and made specific checks on his suitability for the position during their enquiries.

I'm somehow happy to hear this, not fully happy because it is not yet finalised... And United need to act fast if they really want to sign Dybala or Douglas Costa because if Mourinho take up the work as a manager in Turin then it would be very hard for United to seal any player's deal from Turin.... Hakim ziyech is also a good alternative.... in the midfield aspect... United should just sign Bruno Fernandez because that guy is good to replace Herrera..... and we need defenders like koulibaly, Maguire and so on... I just feel I can handle United transfer for a day 😔... the board are too slow
