And speaking of the transfer, the ex-Barcelona man told United’s official site: “I am thrilled to be joining the biggest club in the world.

“The chance to play in this historic stadium and to work with Jose Mourinho was something I could not turn down.

“I am very proud to be the first Chilean player ever to play for United’s first team and I hope I can show our fans all around the world why the club wanted to bring me here.”

And boss Mourinho added: “Alexis is one of the best attacking players in the world and he will complete our very young and talented group of attacking players.
