Everton striker Romelu Lukaku will undergo his Manchester United medical in LA.
The Sun says United boss Jose Mourinho is close to completing a £75million swoop for Lukaku — to leave Chelsea fuming.
Lukaku, 24, was due to have an overnight medical at the UCLA campus in California ahead of his switch from Everton.
Old Trafford boss Mourinho will land the Belgian in a classic coup that blind-sided the Blues — with the striker agreeing a five-year deal worth £250,000 a week.
Chelsea believed as late as Thursday morning that Lukaku had set his heart on a return to Stamford Bridge.
The champions were waiting until they received an acceptable offer for want-away Diego Costa before moving for Lukaku.
But the Londoners were left stunned by Mourinho's swoop.
Lukaku, currently on holiday in Los Angeles with United star Paul Pogba, will now become the fourth-most expensive player in world football.
