If you followed every twist and turn into the early hours on a dramatic transfer deadline day, you’ll have bitten your fingers nails and benefited from very little sleep. But Sir Alex finally got his man, and new signing Dimitar Berbatov says his United move is “a dream come true”.

The classy 27-year-old striker has signed a four-year contract at Old Trafford for an undisclosed fee, and he’s immediately set his sights on success with the Reds.

Berbatov told ManUtd.com late on Monday night: “Joining Manchester United is a dream come true for me.

“I look forward to playing my part in helping this club win more honours in the years to come.”

Sir Alex Ferguson feels United have captured a player of world-class quality. He told us: “This is a key signing. 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’m sure he will be a popular player with the fans.”

As part of the deal, United striker Fraizer Campbell will spend the rest of the 2008/09 season on loan at White Hart Lane.
