Bryan Mbeumo has admitted his mind was made up after he knew about Manchester United’s interest.
According to Mbeumo, he was a childhood fan of the Red Devils and could not turn down a move to Old Trafford.
The 25-year-old will cost United around £71million.
Other Premier League teams like Arsenal, Tottenham, Newcastle and Chelsea are believed to have been keen on Mbeumo.
But the Cameroon international insists there was never a chance of him signing for another club.
He said: “As soon as I knew there was a chance to join Manchester United, I had to take the opportunity to sign for the club of my dreams – the team whose shirt I wore growing up.
“I know that I have the spirit and character to reach another level here, learning from Ruben Amorim and playing alongside world-class players.”
