Wan-Bissaka was in Manchester on Thursday to complete his medical and finalise the move, and images on social media appeared to show the 21-year-old in front of a green screen in full kit.
The defender will be expected to hit the ground running at Old Trafford at right-back, in what has been a problem position for the club in recent seasons.
Ashley Young has been deployed there on a regular basis but his powers appear to be fading, while the former club captain Antonio Valencia has departed this summer.
Wan-Bissaka is likely to compete for a starting place with Diogo Dalot, the Portuguese full-back signed by Jose Mourinho last summer who made a mixed debut season in the Premier League.
