Starsport exclusively revealed back in May that Schweinsteiger, 30, was United's top target.
Old Trafford chiefs have been working round the clock to pull off a deal and now they've got their man.
The Germany World Cup winner will sign a three-year contract worth around £7.2m-a-year.
United will stump up a fee of £5.75m in what will be one of the biggest coups of the summer.
Schweinsteiger had a year left on his current deal but was reportedly growing unhappy at Bayern as he fell behind Xabi Alonso in the pecking order.
Louis van Gaal was desperate to strengthen his midfield as he prepares an assault on the Champions League.
The Dutchman worked with Schweinsteiger during his two years at Bayern Munich between 2009 and 2011 and knows he's just the steely figure United need.
He will be the second new arrival with Memphis Depay signing for £25m move PSV Eindhoven before the end of last season.
