United manager Louis van Gaal said the Netherlands international has the potential to become "a great footballer for this club".
Depay completed a medical at United last month but the move has only just been finalised.
He finished the season as Eredivisie's top scorer with 22 goals as PSV secured their first Dutch title since 2008.
"I have been at PSV Eindhoven since I was 12 years old and I would like to thank them for everything," added Depay, who has 16 Netherlands caps.
"It was a great moment when we won the league and I was so happy to be part of that."
Former Netherlands manager Van Gaal is looking forward to working with Depay again.
