Matheus Cunha has completed his move to Manchester United from Wolves in a £62.5m deal that was finalised on Thursday.
The Red Devils triggered his £62.5 million ($85 million) release clause on June 1 but he was unable to complete his medical due to international commitments with Brazil.
He signed a five-year contract, with the option of a further 12 months.
Cunha has described the move as a dream come true while looking forward to joining his new teammates in pre-season.
He said: “It is hard to put into words my feelings about becoming a Manchester United player.
“Ever since I was a child in Brazil watching Premier League games on TV at my grandmother’s house, United was my favourite English team and I dreamed of wearing the red shirt.
“I want to thank my family and everyone who has helped me make that dream a reality.
“I can’t wait for the start of pre-season to get to know my teammates and prepare for the season ahead.
“All my focus is now on working hard to become a valuable part of the team, and helping get this club back to the top.”
Cunha scored 17 goals in all competitions for Wolves last season, winning the Premier League club’s players’ player of the year award.
He became Ruben Amorim’s first signing of the summer transfer window as the head coach set about overhauling his squad after a miserable domestic campaign and a lacklustre Europa League final defeat to Tottenham.
Cunha is expected to add firepower to Manchester United’s attack, which struggled for goals in the Premier League last season.
He helped his country qualify for the World Cup on Tuesday when he set up the only goal for Vinicius Junior in a 1-0 win over Paraguay.
United’s director of football Jason Wilcox said: “Bringing in Matheus was one of our main priorities for this summer, so we are delighted to have completed his signing so early in the window.
“He has all the qualities we are looking for as we seek to build a strong, dynamic and entertaining team capable of challenging for the biggest honours.”
The Red Devils are expected to make more signings in a bid to bounce back from a shambolic showing in the 2024-25 season.
