| David De Gea is set to join Real Madrid |
News News Blog Sport understand talks between United and the La Liga side are underway and agreement is expected before Spain's midnight deadline.
Madrid have wanted De Gea all summer while United have dug in and demanded £35million - or a player in exchange.
They had hoped for Sergio Ramos or Gareth Bale but it appears that Keylor Navas could be the man to head to Old Trafford.
Louis van Gaal has not used De Gea so far this season, with new signing Sergio Romero coming into the side.
Youngster Sam Johnstone has been his understudy with Anders Lindegaard, Victor Valdes and De Gea all being forced to watch from the stands.
Romero, however, was blamed for yesterday's defeat to Swansea after conceding two soft goals as Garry Monk's side came from behind to beat United at the Liberty Stadium.
Navas, the Costa Rica keeper, has started Madrid's two games so far this season and is yet to concede.
De Gea is in Spain to meet up with his international team-mates ahead of Spain's fixtures with Slovakia and Macedonia.
But Spanish paper reported earlier today that De Gea was increasingly confident of completing the move.
