Romelu Lukaku had a "feeling" he would always play for Manchester United.
The Belgian striker has agreed a five-year deal with United, arriving in a £75million deal from Everton.
Lukaku was linked with a return to former club Chelsea but Jose Mourinho moved to take him to United.
He has lived in the city for some time since joining Everton and has revealed he aspired to turn out at Old Trafford.
"I live in Manchester so I pass Old Trafford many times when I want to go to the city centre," he told MUTV.
"One night I said to my mum that I would play there one day. I thought so. I had a certain feeling. It was just the stadium.
"When you pass it, I am driving but I am looking at the stadium the whole time. Every time when I played against Man United, every time I came onto the pitch, I just felt like a child.
"You can see the atmosphere, the fans. It was just a blessing and I can’t wait to play my first game over there. I am really excited for that."
Lukaku also sent a message to United fans after completing the big-money switch from Goodison Park.
"I am going to give my best, try to score as many goals as possible and try to win as many trophies. That is what they want.
"They want excitement on the pitch and this is something that I will try to deliver in every single game."
