The deal, which is subject to a number of conditions
by The Cottagers, is expected to be concluded next week,
with the hit-man set to make his Red Devils debut against
Southampton.
Saha
is cup-tied, having featured against Cheltenham Town
in the third round of the FA Cup, and will be unavailable
for selection against Northampton in fourth round,
but should be available for Sir Alex Ferguson for
the visit of The Saints on January 31.
United's
goal-scoring problems have been high-lighted in recent
weeks, after the side failed to score in their recent
home clash against Newcastle United and defeat to
Wolves on Saturday.
"Manchester
United can confirm that they have reached agreement
in principle with Fulham Football Club for the transfer
of registration of Louis Saha, but this is subject
to a number of conditions," United said in a
statement.
"Manchester
United expects these conditions to be resolved within
the next week and will make a further announcement
on completion."
