Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that he has won the race to sign Patrice Evra, with the Monaco full back due to undergo a medical on Monday.The French defender becomes the second transfer window arrival at Old Trafford, following hot on the heels of Nemanja Vidic sealing his switch from Spartak Moscow.
A reported £4 million will be paid to Monaco after the player made it clear he wanted to leave the Principality outfit.
Ferguson revealed the news ahead of United's live Sky Sports 1 FA Cup third round trip to Burton Albion.
"The deal is done," said the United boss. "He will come in Monday.
"We have been looking at him for some time since Gabriel Heinze was injured in September."
Monaco are happy with the outcome of the negotiations.
"Everything went fine," said Monaco vice-president Gerard Brianti. "There is a real common desire to complete the deal.
"I am very optimistic.
"We are on the same wavelength and we will reach an agreement."
Internazionale were also determined to sign the 24-year-old, but his preference was to head for United, where he will fill in for long-term injury victim Heinze.
