United, who have already announced the addition of PSV winger Memphis Depay for a fee of 27.5 million euros ahead of next season, spent heavily at the same stage last year, bringing in Angel Di Maria, Ander Herrera, Luke Shaw, Marcos Rojo and Daley Blind for a combined fee of close to 200 million euros.
Louis Van Gaal's side will adopt a similarly big-spending approach this time around Wenger believes.
Wenger told reporters "I expect Manchester United to be active in the transfer market," "Every player I am offered, Man Utd are already on his case!"
On Sunday, Arsenal will travel to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United, with the Gunners two points ahead of the Red Devils in third place.
Louis Van Gaal endured a difficult start to life at Old Trafford but has now all but secured United's return to the Champions League, and Wenger believes the Dutchman will help the club attract big names in the coming months.
We expect them to buy some strong players, "He has shown that he has the personality to be at a club of that size."
On Sunday, a win for the Gunners will secure a top-three finish, therefore seeing them avoid the Champions League playoffs in August, and Wenger admits he is keen to seat an automatic spot.
