Manchester United are reportedly closing in on Inter Milan’s Ivan Perisic.
According to The Independent, Manchester United are confident of completing a swoop for Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic over the next week.
The Red Devils have already tied up the signing of Benfica defender Victor Lindelof, whilst a £75million deal for Everton striker Romelu Lukaku is set to go through as well, as noted by BBC Sport.

However, manager Jose Mourinho isn’t done attempting to rebuild his squad just yet, with another winger on his radar given that Anthony Martial failed to nail down a starting spot last season.
The Independent now report that United are growing increasingly confident that their long-standing pursuit of Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic will finally reap rewards over the next week.
It’s claimed that Perisic has agreed personal terms with United, and whilst they remain a little shy of Inter’s £50million asking price, a blockbuster fee is expected to be agreed within the next seven days.
United are believed to be confident that Perisic will finally join the club after a lengthy pursuit, handing Mourinho a dangerous left-sided winger who is also willing to work hard and put in effort defensively.

The Croatian international hit 11 goals and eight assists in Serie A last season, and after spells in Germany with Borussia Dortmund and Wolfsburg, he is now edging towards a move to the Premier League.
Perisic could make an immediate impact for United, but some may feel that spending so much money on a player who turns 29 later in the season is a little short-sighted from the Red Devils.
