Manchester United have announced the signature of an unnamed Senegalese player, believed to be Mame Biram Diouf.
United are in Malaysia for their pre-season tour of the Far East and Sir Alex Ferguson revealed he has signed a 21-year-old Norwegian player, but did not divulge his name.
Striker Diouf plays in Norway for Molde FK and will stay with the club on loan until January 2010, at which point he will join up with his new team-mates.
Sir Alex Ferguson said: "We signed a young player yesterday from Norway, who we've been looking at for two years.
"We weren't intending on signing anyone else after last week - we feel we have a full squad - but the situation accelerated to a point where other clubs started to make bids, so we had to decide whether we acted or didn't act. We decided to act and he'll be the last person we sign."

"He'll stay on loan where he is and we'll look to bring him [to Manchester] in January."
