"Manchester United are delighted to announce the signing of Dimitar Berbatov," a statement said on United's official site.

The prolific striker signed a four-year-deal at Old Trafford after joining on an undisclosed fee, following months of speculation over his future.

Berbatov has been linked with the Premiership champions since last season, and Spurs have acknowledged his exit after landing Roman Pavlyuchenko on Sunday.
