Gabriel Obertan has completed his £3 million switch from Bordeaux to Manchester United.
The 20-year-old, who can play in a variety of attacking positions, has signed a four-year contract with the Premier League champions.
Obertan becomes Sir Alex Ferguson's third signing of the close season following the arrival of Antonio Valencia from Wigan Athletic for £17 million and Michael Owen on a free transfer last week.
"Gabriel is a player we have tracked for a few years now," Ferguson told the club's official website. "But because of his educational programme our efforts to get him here have always been delayed.
"We are delighted to get him now as he is an exciting prospect. We like to get young players and develop them, and we will see that in Gabriel over the next two years."
Obertan added: "I am very happy to join Manchester United.
"This is a big opportunity for me to play at such a great club. I am very excited to be here and I look forward to proving what I can do."
However, Obertan will have to wait for his first-team debute as an unspecified minor injury will prevent him travelling on United's pre-season tour of the Far East.
