Uruguay Under-20 international Guillermo Varela has confirmed that he will undergo a medical with Manchester United on Friday.
The Penarol defender spent time at United last season on trial and David Moyes has given his approval for the youngster to sign.
Varela spoke to Futbol a lo Penarol radio before he left for London, saying: "I will have a medical on Friday and on Saturday I join the Uruguay Under-20 national team.
"I will have to learn English, Rodolfo Catino [Penarol's club treasurer] taught me something, the structure is impressive."
Catino added: "The deal has been agreed, we now have to discuss some points, there won't be any percentage regarding any future transfer.
"The deal can be as much as 2.8 million Euros. Guille will adapt quickly to Manchester."
