And United yesterday also completed the £28.8m signing of Ander Herrera from Athletic Bilbao.
New England left-back Shaw will undergo a medical in the next 24 hours after agreeing personal terms with the fallen giants.
The 18-year-old has agreed a five-year-deal worth £100,000-a-week after Chelsea pulled out of the race to sign him.
Spanish midfielder Herrera has penned a four-year deal worth around £90,000-a-week having bought out his Bilbao contract.

Herrera, 24, said: "This is a dream come true. I have joined United to do all I can to help the team reach the club's objectives.
"Having arrived on Tuesday, I'm excited to now be living in Manchester and I can't wait for my first game in United's famous red shirt."
Bilbao briefly threw a spanner in the works yesterday when they rejected United's bid.
But because of a clause in Herrera's contract United were able to provide the funds to allow him to buy out his contract to make sure the move went through.
He had already agreed terms and completed a medical with United earlier this week.
