Manchester United have signed Marouane Fellaini from Everton.
The £27.5m deal, which went through in the last few minutes of the transfer window, came after the Belgian handed in a transfer request in an attempt to force through a move.
The champions had been pursuing the 25 year-old midfielder for the duration of the summer transfer window and a £36 million joint bid for Fellaini and his Everton teammate Leighton Baines, was rejected by the Merseyside club last month.
However Manchester United were unable to sign Athletic Bilbao midfielder Ander Herrera and lost out on a number of targets this summer including Ces Fabregas and Thiago Alcantara.
