"I'm glad that the time of waiting is now over for me," Mousset, whose United career was plagued by fitness issues, said.

"I'm a football player, so I want to be on the pitch and play as often as possible. The Bundesliga is pretty new territory for me, I only know it from the media so far.

"I'm curious to get to know my new teammates and I'm looking forward to the first sessions with them."
