He leaves Chelsea after 18 years with the club, graduating from their academy and breaking into the first team in 2019.
The 24-year-old departs with a Champions League winner’s medal to his name and opened up on the tough call to leave the club.
He said: “It’s never easy leaving the club where you grew up, but Manchester United will provide an exciting new challenge for the next phase of my career.
“Having competed against them, I know just how strong a squad it is that I’m joining, and I can’t wait to be part of this group’s drive to win major trophies.
“Everyone can see that the club has made big steps forward under Erik ten Hag.
“Having met with the manager and discussed his plans, I couldn’t be more excited for the seasons ahead, and am ready for the hard work expected here.
