Manchester United are confident Burnley defender Michael Keane wants a return to Old Trafford.
The Manchester Evening News says United are increasingly confident they will win the race for Keane.
Jose Mourinho has identified the Burnley defender as a player with the potential to become Old Trafford's John Terry.
United are preparing a bid of around £25m - but know they face competition from Tottenham, Liverpool and Everton.
United were confident the 24-year-old centre back was eager to return to Old Trafford - even before he allegedly told a fan that was his preferred move this summer.
