Crystal Palace are close to signing Timothy Fosu-Mensah on loan.
Sky Sports reported earlier this week that Fosu-Mensah was undergoing his medical at Palace ahead of his season-long loan move.
It seems it is only a matter of time now before his move will be officially announced.
Fosu-Mensah is a versatile defender who can play at right-back, centre-back or in defensive midfield.
The move suits all parties involved. Jose Mourinho would have struggled to give him regular game time following the arrivals of Nemanja Matic and Victor Lindelof.
On the other hand, Fosu-Mensah is a highly talented footballer who needs Premier League exposure for his growth and development.
The 19-year-old defender has made 21 appearances for United in all competitions, and played eight times in the Premier League under Louis van Gaal.
Palace have already signed centre-back Jairo Riedewald, and are looking to bolster their defensive set up ahead of the new season.
Judging by the reactions on Twitter, it seems Palace fans are excited about this signing. Here are some of the selected tweets:
