And a deal could be completed as soon as the next few weeks.
Jose Mourinho has made the Atletico Madrid striker his top target and United are ready to match his £86million buyout clause.

Champions League football is believed to be key to his future, and that is now secured for United following tonight's 2-0 Europa League triumph over Ajax.

Man Utd Transfer News: Chelsea closest to signing Real Madrid midfielder James Rodriguez
Real Madrid are said to have dropped their interest in Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.
Marca claim the decision has been made to focus on landing Spaniard De Gea.
United are thought to be realistic about their chances of keeping the Spain international, who is keen to return to his home country.
Keylor Navas has supposedly done enough to keep his place in the Madrid squad – although he would be demoted to second choice if De Gea joined.
5.10pm: Burnley chairman Mike Garlick insists the value of Premier League survival is so great they are prepared to hang on to Michael Keane and lose him for free next summer if a suitable offer is not forthcoming.
The 24-year-old England defender has one year remaining on his deal and is expected to attract interest from former club Manchester United among other suitors when the transfer window reopens.
Yet Garlick has reiterated the stance Burnley manager Sean Dyche has taken over recent weeks – that the Clarets' strong financial position following survival means cashing in on any of their prized assets is not necessary.
And he stressed that the windfall for a third straight year in the top flight would far outweigh any below-par fee they could recoup for Keane this summer.
"Let's roll it forward a year – what's the prize for staying up again, another £120-130million," Garlick said.
"So if we miss out on one or two fees and get that, I know what I'd take.”

It is said club chiefs will speak with the 29-year-old before he goes off on holiday and aim to tie up the deal.
Mata’s current deal expires in 2018 but United want to avoid a prolonged saga by getting his contract done early.

Is this how Manchester United could look if they sign James Rodriguez?
06:20: Real Madrid midfielder James Rodriguez could be closer to joining Chelsea than Manchester United.
That is according to Spanish journalist Eduardo Inda.
Manchester United have been heavily linked with a move for the Real Madrid midfielder, who could have played his last game for the recently crowned La Liga champions.
But Inda told Spanish TV programme El Chiringuito de Jugones: "The club that has more options to take James is not Manchester United, but Chelsea and is the team that is nearest the signing."
05:10: West Ham and West Brom are leading the race to sign Chris Smalling from Manchester United, according to The Sun.
Jose Mourinho looks ready to offload the centre-half this summer as he makes room for Burnley defender Michael Keane, a product of United's academy.
Hammers boss Slaven Bilic is thought to be a fan of the former Fulham man, although strengthening at centre-half is not a priority at the London Stadium.
While West Brom manager Tony Pulis is looking at reuniting Smalling with former Red Devils team-mate Jonny Evans.
