IVAN PERISIC expects to join Manchester United this summer, according to reports.
The Red Devils are yet to agree a fee with Inter Milan for the Croatia winger.
But according to the MEN, Perisic, 28, is already planning for life in Manchester.
The former Borussia Dortmund and Wolfsburg player is thought to “appreciate” Jose Mourinho’s management style.
Champions League football is also a strong pull for Perisic, who has not played in Europe’s elite competition since 2013 with Dortmund.
And he is also believed to be happy to move to England, following spells in France, Belgium, Germany and Italy.

With Perisic happy to move, United must now convince Inter to sell their star player.
The Italian club must stump up £26million by the end of June in order to meet Fifa’s Financial Fair Play rules.
Croatia international Perisic is known for his industrious style of play, and would fit in with Mourinho’s philosophy.
The Special One demands his players work as a team and track back together.
But, despite possessing more defensive qualities than a standard winger, versatile Perisic is a quick counter-attacker and can whip in a ball with both feet.
