United have gone back to Wolves and said they’ll accept those terms.
“United don’t want to waste any time, they are pushing ahead to sign him and Wolves have said fine that’s all good, you’ve triggered the release clause, we will now give you permission to speak to the player and also for the player to have a medical.
