Manchester United have signed 24-year-old Angolan forward Manucho.
The striker, who has been on trial at the club, arrives from Angolan side Petro Athletico on a three-year deal.
"We have had Manucho here for a three-week trial and have been impressed enough to offer him a contract," said boss Sir Alex Ferguson.
"He is a tall, agile, quick forward and through contacts that Carlos (Queiroz) has, was brought to our attention around six months ago."
Manucho, real name Mateus Alberto Contreiras Goncalves, arrives at Old Trafford in January subject to a work permit.
He joins Carlos Tevez, Wayne Rooney, Loius Saha and Dong Fangzhou in United's striking department.
