The two clubs remain locked in talks ahead of the prospective move, but the Old Trafford hierarchy are confident off thrashing out a deal for the highly-rated defender.
The 25-year-old was in impressive form for World Champions Germany during the tournament in Brazil, and that has attracted interest from new United manager Louis van Gaal.
That what will come as a huge boost to the 20-times champions as they look to get back on the trophy haul following a disappointing season.
With both Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand departing the club this summer, United are in desperate need of some experience at the back and despite being just 25, Hummels will provide just that after playing at the highest level domestically and internationally for many years.
Unless a late twist puts the deal into jeopardy, Hummels will join the likes of Luke Shaw and Ander Herrera at Old Trafford, as Van Gaal looks to build a side capable of challenging for major honours.
Elsewhere, in what will come as good news to Manchester United fans worldwide, Ed Woodward, executive vice-chairman, has said he expects some new signings and several departures from Old Trafford over the next couple of weeks.
