Rasmus Hojlund has completed his medical with Manchester United ahead of a £72m move from Atalanta, and will be unveiled during their friendly with Lens on Saturday.
The Atalanta striker is expected to sign a five-year contract with the option of a further 12 months.
A formal announcement of his signing could come this weekend, with a chance the 20-year-old may be presented during their friendly against Lens.
United also face Athletic Bilbao on Sunday – which may give him enough time to feature in their final pre-season game.
The Premier League side were handed a boost on Saturday when Atalanta signed Almeria forward El Bilal Toure, while Hojlund was left out of the squad that played Bournemouth in a pre-season friendly.
