Ramos, 29, will be unveiled at a ceremony in the stadium’s presidential box at 12:30pm today.
However, negotiations broke down after the Red Devils were only willing to pay £35million – £29million less than Madrid’s valuation, according to reports.
In addition, United were adamant they would only sell De Gea for a world record £35million but Madrid were only prepared to offer as high as £25million.
All hope of signing Ramos now appears to be gone as the club captain today extended his stay at the Bernabeu.
Valencia defender Nicolas Otamendi is a player which United have been linked with should they fail in a move to sign Ramos.
However, reports today claim City are planning to hi-jack United’s move for the 27-year-old after they are believed to have had a £28.4million bid accepted over the weekend.
Question’s remain over whether the former Porto defender would be able to oust Vincent Kompany or Eliaquim Mangala from the starting line-up at the Etihad.
The central defensive pair have looked assured at the back, keeping consecutive clean sheets in consecutive 3-0 victories against West Bromwich Albion and Chelsea.
