Manchester United have completed the signing of Everton forward Romelu Lukaku on a five-year deal.

On Thursday, reports began to emerge that the two clubs had agreed a £75m deal for a player who had been expected to move to Chelsea this summer.

With personal terms now agreed and a medical having been completed, United are now in a position to confirm that they have sealed the services of the 24-year-old on a long-term contract.

Lukaku told the club's official website: "I would like to start by thanking Everton and the fans for the last four wonderful seasons, I have made some special friends and we have shared some amazing moments. However, when Manchester United and Jose Mourinho come knocking at the door it is an opportunity of a lifetime and one that I could not turn down.

"You could see the fight, determination and the spirit in this team during the Europa League final and I want to become a part of that. I cannot wait to run out at Old Trafford in front of 75,000 fans but before that pre-season is where the hard work starts and I am looking forward to that first training session."

Everton have more than doubled the £28m they paid for Lukaku in 2014, who has scored 71 goals in 133 appearances in all competitions during his time at Goodison Park.

That includes 25 goals which were netted in the Premier League last season as he finished as runner-up to Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane in the race for the golden boot.
