Ivan Perisic is preparing for life at Manchester United and expects to move to Old Trafford before the summer transfer window slams shut.
United have yet to reach an agreement with Inter Milan but Perisic's camp believe it is only a matter of time, according to the Manchester Evening News .
It is believed the Croatian is keen to work with boss Jose Mourinho and wants to play in the Champions League again after a four-year absence.
Although Perisic is content with life in Milan, the father-of-two sees this summer as the chance to finally make the move to England after spells in France, Belgium, Germany and Italy.

Inter, who recently appointed Luciano Spalletti as their new manager, need to raise £26m by the end of June to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations - which could speed things up.
Hard-working and direct, Perisic has been earmarked by Mourinho as the ideal signing to improve United's transitions and cutting edge on the break
The 28-year-old would give Mourinho a more direct option with his ability to find an extra gear when bursting forward into the final third.
The Croatian is comfortable with the ball at his feet under pressure and is a bit of a throwback with his trademark of running to the byline and swinging in a low, teasing cross.
