Dimitar Berbatov has signed a four-year deal with Manchester United.
One of the summer's longest-running transfers was finally concluded tonight, with Fraizer Campbell going to Tottenham in a year-long loan.
United have not confirmed how much they have paid for the 27-year-old but Tottenham confirmed they had agreed a fee of £30.75million.
As part of the deal, Tottenham have agreed not to pursue a complaint against United for making an illegal approach to the player.
Sir Alex Ferguson was delighted after finally getting his man.
"This is a key signing," the United boss told www.manutd.com.
"Dimitar is one of the best and most exciting strikers in world football.
"His style and ability will give the team a different dimension and I am sure he will be a popular player with the fans."
Berbatov says he's now looking forward to becoming a United legend.

"Joining Manchester United is a dream come true for me," he said.
"I look forward to playing my part in helping this club win more honours in the years to come."
Ferguson believes Berbatov has the quality to score goals himself and create chances for others.
Some may question the player's temperament in light of his recent behaviour but Ferguson has worked with plenty of highly-strung individuals, including Eric Cantona, and got the best out of them.
