United, who hope to finalise the signing in the next 24-28 hours, reached an agreement with Real Madrid last month to sign the France defender for a fee believed to be in the region of £41m including add-ons.
Varane, 28, travelled to Manchester last week after quarantine rules and paperwork issues stalled his arrival, before going through a period of quarantine.
The centre-back, a World Cup winner in 2018, will become United’s third summer signing following the arrival of England winger Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund for £73m and the free transfer of goalkeeper Tom Heaton.
Varane, whose contract at Real was due to expire next summer, has made 360 appearances for the Spanish club during a decade-long stay, winning the Champions League and La Liga both three times.
