"I am delighted to be a Manchester United player. Once I learned that
United were interested in signing me, it was a very easy decision to
make. I have enjoyed seven very happy years with Southampton and it’s a
club that will always be in my heart. But the chance to be part of this
squad to help this great club be successful was too good to miss.
"I’m excited to be starting that
journey on our trip to the USA. I know what Manchester United means to
fans all over the world and I’m looking forward to experiencing that," the French midfielder told United’s website.

"Morgan is a very talented player with great energy and ability. His
skills will complement the players that we already have and I am very
pleased that we have been able to complete this deal before the tour to
the United States.
"That training camp will be very important in our preparations for
the new season and gives Morgan and the other players a chance to show
our fans what they can achieve together," the Red Devils boss said.
