However, Mitrovic is now finalising a £20million move to Craven Cottage.

The 23-year-old spent the second half of last season at the club, which was promoted through the play-offs.

Mitrovic had reported back to United for pre-season training this week.

The Serbia international had been given an extended break following his involvement at the World Cup.

And the deal could be finalised in the next 24 hours.
