He is the fourth most expensive signing in United’s history and has acknowledged that the move has not really sunk in yet as he is just trying to focus on the World Cup.
He added: "It's a big change, but I have not stopped yet... It still hasn't set in, I'm very focused here on the World Cup."
"I do not think much about it, but it's a great club in Europe, it's one of the biggest, so I'm very happy for that."
