New Red Devils Signings Unveiled

Owen Hargreaves (right): It's great to be here

It seemed like a long transfer at times, but finally I’m here. At first Bayern Munich didn't want to sell me, but I made my intentions clear and I'm glad they accepted United's offer. This is a great opportunity.

I had a lot of success like Bayern Munich and now I’m looking forward to the next chapter of my career and I have the opportunity to play for one of the biggest clubs in the world, if not the biggest. I'm looking forward to having lots of success and winning as many titles as possible.

There are so many fantastic players in this squad, and every player brings his qualities – mine are in the defensive midfield area. Hopefully I can win some tackles, help keep a clean sheet and give the back four some protection. After that I want to get the ball to our fantastic attacking players – Giggsy, Scholesy, Wazza, Cristiano, and now Nani and Anderson.

Roy Keane, who played in a similar position to me, is one of the legends at this club. But I’m looking forward to making a name for myself and not trying to emulate anyone in particular. Manchester United have a fabulous history of players – not only in midfield but across all the positions – and to be a part of this club is a dream come true for me. I'm really looking forward to the future with United.

Nani relishes reds chance

Nani says he is excited to have joined "the biggest club in the world" after being officially unveiled to the world's press at Carrington on Monday.

The pacy 20-year-old Portuguese winger, who can play on either flank, joins former Sporting Lisbon team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo at Old Trafford and he's looking forward to linking up with his fellow countryman.

"I'm very excited to be at the biggest club in the world," he says.

"I want to do my best. Ronaldo and I grew up at the same club and the fact that he was at United gave me a real incentive to join the club. I'm very much looking forward to playing alongside him."

Reds boss Sir Alex Ferguson admits he knew about Nani when the Reds were monitoring Ronaldo, but preferred him to learn his trade in Portugal.

"We've known about Nani for a few years - it was about the same time as Ronaldo, although Nani was younger of course. Carlos' knowledge of Portugal meant we were able to keep track of his progress. He's got time to adapt into the way of our club. He won't play every game next season but he'll play a lot."
