Manchester United remain confident of signing Paul Pogba and the deal is inching closer to being finalised, according to Sky Sports News HQ reporter James Cooper.
Pogba's protracted move back to Manchester from Juventus is widely expected to be completed in the coming days for a fee in the region of £100m and break the world transfer record in the process.
"They are inching ever closer," Cooper said. "Manchester United are relaxed.
They think they are going to get their man. If they wanted to go and do a medical in the US - he is currently on holiday there - they could go and do that.
"The player wants to come back to Manchester. The agent is trying to sort out a deal with Juventus. There are all sorts of things payments-wise to sort out and establish but I think it a case of when rather than if.
"Manchester United would like to think they can get the player within the next week so they then have a week to work with him before they begin their Premier League campaign away to Bournemouth."
