The Red Devils revealed they have agreed terms with Chivas for the 21-year-old, and subject to a work permit, the deal will be completed on 1st July.
'Chicharito' is United's second signing for next season after Fulham defender Chris Smalling and he will become the first Mexican player to join the Old Trafford club.
As part of the deal, United will play a match to open the new 45,000 capacity Chivas Stadium in Guadalajara as part of its 2010/11 season preparations.
Manager Sir Alex Ferguson said: "I am delighted to reach agreement with Chivas to bring such an exciting young striker, who has been in such prolific form for both his club and his country.
"He will be a great addition to our squad and we look forward to welcoming our first Mexican player in the summer. We are equally excited to play our first game in Mexico, opening the magnificent new Chivas Stadium in July."
