The deal will take the club's total spending to £95.2m, with further additions expected as the club looks to offload several squad members.
The Red Devils are undergoing a significant overhaul of their defense, with Yoro's signing part of a broader plan to bring in up to three new center-backs.
The club has already verbally agreed to personal terms with Bayern Munich's Matthijs de Ligt and has seen two bids rejected by Everton for Jarrad Branthwaite.
Manager Erik ten Hag now has five center-back options at his disposal, including Jonny Evans, who recently signed a new one-year contract.
However, Lisandro Martinez is unlikely to feature in United's pre-season schedule due to his international commitments with Argentina at the Copa America.
