Manchester United should finally complete their first signing of the summer on Monday after confirming a fee has been agreed with Tottenham for England midfielder Michael Carrick.
Providing there are no unexpected hitches over personal terms or a medical, the 25-year-old former West Ham star will complete his Old Trafford switch at the beginning of next week.
"Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur can confirm they have agreed terms for the transfer of Michael Carrick conditional on the player agreeing personal terms with Manchester United," said a United statement on Friday evening.
