Owen Hargreaves has signed a four-year contract to finalise his move to Manchester United.The Premier League champions confirmed at the end of May that a deal had been agreed to capture the midfielder from Bayern Munich.
Reports have put the fee in the region of £17million, with Hargreaves joining Nani and Anderson as new additions to the Old Trafford ranks.
Hargreaves had been a long-term target for Sir Alex Ferguson, who had spent the best part of 12 months trying to persuade Bayern to sell.
With a four-year deal now secured, the England international is happy to have finally completed his move to the Premier League.
"It's been a long time coming," Hargreaves told the club's official website.
"It was probably the worst-kept secret in football, but it's great to be here.
"I think it's great to finally reach a positive conclusion, especially after all the time and energy that's been put in from everyone involved!"
Meanwhile, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is confident he will be fit for the start of the new season.
The Norwegian international underwent knee surgery earlier in the summer, but the veteran striker is hopeful he will be back in time for the big kick-off in August.
"I still have a lot to give for Manchester United, either on the bench, the pitch or on the sidelines," Solskjaer told NTB.
