The Turkish side submitted an official bid of close to \u00a313 million, including add-ons, for the 30-year-old which has seemingly been accepted by United. The medical tests have been <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FabrizioRomano\/status\/1689714322761502720?t=ZYCg7uRQFjtLDCNGCcAtYw&amp;s=19\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">booked<\/a> and the player will travel to Turkey, ready to leave England after five seasons in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/08\/09\/manchester-united-update-sofyan-amrabat-deal\/\" target=\"_self\">Fabrizio Romano Issues Major Update on Four Manchester United Transfers<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The 30-year-old will join last season&#8217;s Turkish Super Lig runner-up. The club has been looking to bolster its midfield, and the former Shakhtar man&#8217;s signing would undoubtedly be a significant coup for them.<\/p>\n<h3>Manchester United\u2019s Transfer Market Activity<\/h3>\n<p>The Red Devils have been fairly active in the transfer market so far having recently captured highly rated youngster Rasmus Hojlund, they have also signed Andre Onana and Mason Mount in this window.<\/p>\n<p>The Old Trafford outfit are not done with their transfer business as they are heavily linked with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FabrizioRomano\/status\/1688703607619854336?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">multiple players<\/a>. Sofyan Amrabat remains a top target, potentially taking Fred&#8217;s place in the middle of the park. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FabrizioRomano\/status\/1689539578795786241?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Benjamin Pavard<\/a> of Bayern Munich and Jean-Claire Todibo of French club Nice are closely monitored as other potential signings. On the topic of outgoings, Romano notes that talks are scheduled for West Ham&#8217;s interest in Harry Maguire and Scott McTominay while Donny van de Beek is going on loan to Spain.<\/p>\n<h3>Fred\u2019s Time at Manchester United<\/h3>\n<p>The left-footed midfielder joined the Premier League giants in the summer of 2018 from Shakhtar Donetsk for a massive transfer fee of \u00a352 million. It is fair to say that in his five-season stay in England, he failed to justify his price tag, having not been able to replicate the same form he showed at the Ukrainian side. He has made 214 appearances, scoring 14 goals and assisting 19 times for the English team.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/08\/09\/cameraman-threatened-manchester-united-mason-greenwood\/\" target=\"_self\">Man \u2018Threatened With Violence\u2019 After Filming the Thing Mason Greenwood Has Been Doing Recently<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Despite him not being able to write his name in the history books of United, the midfielder worked tirelessly every time he stepped onto the pitch in the red jersey, this led to some outlets labelling him a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.footballfancast.com\/manchester-united-news\/man-united-fred-ten-hag-premier-league-palace\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8220;Midfield Machine<\/a>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Featured Image<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_626169\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-626169\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-626169 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/08\/USATSI_21134832_168400543_lowres-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund during the playing of the national anthem at Allegiant Stadium\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/08\/USATSI_21134832_168400543_lowres-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/08\/USATSI_21134832_168400543_lowres-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/08\/USATSI_21134832_168400543_lowres-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/08\/USATSI_21134832_168400543_lowres-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/08\/USATSI_21134832_168400543_lowres-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/08\/USATSI_21134832_168400543_lowres-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/08\/USATSI_21134832_168400543_lowres-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-626169\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jul 30, 2023; Las Vegas, Nevada, USA; Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund the playing of the national anthem at Allegiant Stadium.
