Lindelof would become Leverkusen’s second centre back acquisition after Jarell Quanah’s £35million move from Liverpool.
He arrived at United from Benfica for £30.7m in 2017 and went on to establish himself as a regular over eight seasons at Old Trafford.
The defender played 284 games for the club, winning a League Cup and an FA Cup.
Following his last appearance for United in May, Lindelof told MUTV: ‘Yeah, I am proud of myself. It’s been a lot of ups and downs.
‘But I mean, for me to be able to represent this club for eight years, it’s been an honour and a privilege, and a dream come true.’
