Manchester United [Images] have agreed a fee of up to 18.6 million pounds ($34.59 million) for Tottenham and England [Images] midfielder Michael Carrick, the club said on Monday.
A statement on United's website said: "Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur can confirm they have agreed terms for the transfer of the registration of Michael Carrick conditional upon the player agreeing personal terms with Manchester United.
"The player shall also be required to pass a medical. This will take place on Monday."
Carrick, who joined Spurs for 2.75 million pounds ($5.11 million) from West Ham United two years ago, has two years left on his contract but has declined to sign an extension.
The midfielder, who turned 25 on Friday, has seven England caps but made only one appearance at this year's World Cup in the 1-0 second-round win over Ecuador.
