Fred is set to join Fenerbahce after accepted a €15 million (£13m) bid from the Turkish club.

The Brazilian midfielder has entered the final year of his contract with United, who have been open to a sale this summer.

Fulham had expressed an interest in signing the 30-year-old but he is now on the verge of completing a move to Turkey.

According to Fabrizio Romano, United have given the green light for Fred to travel to Turkey to undergo a medical after accepting Fenerbahce’s €15m (£13m) offer.

United are now expected to press ahead with a move for Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat as Fred’s replacement.

Fiorentina are willing to sell Amrabat before the end of the transfer window but are demanding a €25m (£21.6m) transfer fee.

Elsewhere, United remain in negotiations with Real Sociedad over a loan deal for Donny van de Beek.

United are also open to selling Scott McTominay if West Ham get closer to meeting their £40m valuation.
