Manchester United have beaten Liverpool and Chelsea in the race for 14-year-old Burnley striker John Cofie and agreed an undisclosed fee with the Clarets.
Burnley rejected a reported £250,000 bid from Liverpool for Cofie this week.
But the German-born Ghanaian refused to return to training with the Clarets and they agreed he could leave Turf Moor.
Burnley have inserted a 25% sell-on clause in the deal, which also gives them first refusal on any loan deal and a future friendly match with United.
It will be three years before Cofie can sign professional terms at Old Trafford and the friendly game will take place within 12 months of that.
