The news sent Manchester United fans into celebration barely 24 hours after the club also announced that they had signed former PSG star Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Although the Red Devils are yet to make an official announcement regarding the deal, reports in England suggest that the deal could be announced any time from now.
The 27-year-old is Jose Mourinho's third signing of the season after bringing in defender Eric Bailly from Villarreal and Zlatan Ibrahimovic (free agent, formerly PSG).
Here are some of the reactions following the confirmation from the Bundesliga side:
