Manchester United have agreed a British record transfer fee of £59.7m to sign Real Madrid winger Angel Di Maria.
The Argentina international, 26, is in Manchester and will have a medical on Tuesday morning, after which the move which will take United's summer spending to £132m will be confirmed.
Di Maria could make his debut away to Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday.
The fee will eclipse the £50m Chelsea paid Liverpool for striker Fernando Torres in 2011.
United last broke the British transfer record when they paid Leeds £29.1m for Rio Ferdinand in 2002.
The Old Trafford club have already bought left-back Luke Shaw, midfielder Ander Herrera and Di Maria's Argentina team-mate Marcos Rojo for a combined £72m this summer.
Di Maria joined Real from Benfica for £36m in 2010, and won La Liga in 2012 and the Champions League last season.
