Manchester United have completed the signing of Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund for £73m.
According to Sky Sports, Sancho has penned down a five-year deal at the Manchester outfit.
And on the side, the English winger has also agreed to an option of a further year.
Sancho, who's been a long term target for United, completed a medical earlier this month.
Although before now, Man United and Dortmund had struck an agreement for the winger on July 1.
Speaking on finally completing his long-awaited move to United, Sancho admitted that it was a dream come true.
He added that he couldn't wait to hit the ground running.
Last season, Sancho boasted 11 Bundesliga assists to rank fourth in the German topflight.
In addition, the 21-year-old racked up a staggering 531 completed passes in the final third to finish second in the Bundesliga.
Amazingly, his crazy stats already has manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer mooning over him.
Solskjaer, who expressed delight over the completed deal, admitted that he's looking forward to seeing the playmaker shine at Old Trafford.
Sancho becomes Solskjaer's second signing this summer after Aston Villa goalie Tom Heaton came through United's doors earlier this month.

Jadon Sancho's move to Old Trafford has been long coming.
After tailing the winger in the whole of last summer, trying to get Dortmund to knock down the staggering £108m they slapped on the England international, United have finally succeeded to get the deal over the line.
Though Dortmund were determined to hold out for £85m for Sancho this summer, United impressively managed to get them to settle for £73m.
For United fans, however, getting Sancho to sign for the club has always been a priority.
Last summer, that failed to work out; this summer, things took off a little too slow, but they finally nailed it.
And with the 21-year-old winger now in the Red shirt, it's the best deal of the year as they prepare for the 2021/22 Premier League season.
