The Premier League giants have reportedly reached an agreement for a compensation package for the youngster, and now McGinty looks set to join the youth ranks at Old Trafford.
The 15-year-old was offered a scholarship at The Valley, but has reportedly rejected it, and looks set to end his three-year stay with the club.
The defender has not yet moved to Old Trafford, but Addicks chairman Richard Murray has stated his pride with the quality of the club's academy.
Speaking to the club's official website, Murray said, "To have a club like Manchester United tracking our youth players clearly shows the quality that our academy is currently producing.
"Of course, nothing would have made us happier than Sean coming through the ranks and representing our first team, and our coaches had high hopes for him. We did our utmost to persuade him to stay. But equally, joining such a big Premier League club is obviously an attractive prospect, and Sean and his family made it clear that they wanted to move north to United.
"Manchester United have behaved entirely honourably throughout the process and I'd like to thank them for that."
The central defender has already represented Republic of Ireland Under-17s, and looks set for a bright future with the Red Devils.
