Dalot, 21, is due to fly to Italy today after his Red Devils bosses sanctioned a move to AC Milan after dismissing a loan-bid from Roma.
Roma, who are closing in on a permanent deal for United outcast Chris Smalling, 30, were rebuffed by Old Trafford officials.
Dalot, who made his first start for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side this term in their Carabao Cup Last-16 win against Brighton on Wednesday, has made just one Premier League appearance in the past 16 months.
And the Portugal Under-21 right-back featured in just 11 games across all competitions last term.
Dalot has faced a battle to secure a starting spot in recent months despite injuries to Luke Shaw and Brandon Williams.
Timothy Fosu-Mensah was chosen to play as a full-back in United’s win away at Crystal Palace in July, despite the youngster being capable of playing on the left flank.
And the Old Trafford side, who promoted Ethan Laird, 19, to the first team, are reportedly interested in signing Brazilian left-back Alex Telles from Porto.
Dalot moved to United from Portuguese giants Porto for £19million in 2018.

But the youngster, who has battled with groin injuries, has made only 25 starts since his switch to Old Trafford.
The Portugal-born player has three years left to run on his contract with Man United.
And it is thought the defender, heavily linked with a permanent Serie A move, is ready to call time on his Old Trafford career.
