The winger has been linked with an Old Trafford switch after apparently impressing Louis van Gaal with a number of brilliant displays for the Portuguese champions.
It was believed that Nani would be included as part of a swap deal for Gaitan, but Italian media outlet Tuttomercatoweb claims that United and Benfica have struck a cash-only deal.
Van Gaal will apparently pay £22million for the Argentine after offering him a five-year contract, and the move is expected to be confirmed next week.
United have also been keeping tabs on Gaitan's teammate Eduardo Salvio, although Liverpool are said to be keen on the right-sided midfielder.
