The England defender successfully completed a routine medical at United's Carrington training complex and has been informed he will be manager Louis van Gaal's first-choice left-back.
It is understood that he has been assured that he will start and 33-year-old Patrice Evra, who will remain with United, is expected to have a reduced role at Old Trafford.
Sportsmail revealed on Thursday that the England international met United officials at the club's training ground, where he was given a personal tour ahead of his medical on Friday morning.
Having displayed on his personal Twitter account that he is now a Manchester United player, Shaw is expected to be officially presented by the Premier League club on Friday afternoon.
He stayed overnight in a Manchester hotel and will pay a visit to Old Trafford to be shown around the club's iconic stadium and for promotional photographs.
He will then head away on holiday before returning to meet his new team-mates for pre-season.
Sportsmail understands that his holiday plans have been scheduled to ensure that he is back in time for United’s pre-season of the United States in July.
Shaw is understood to have informed Southampton of his desire to leave the club at the end of May and a wage package in excess of £100,000 has been agreed in principle between United and the player for some time.
