Luis Antonio Valencia flew in last night to complete his dream £16million move to Manchester United - and end Sir Alex Ferguson's wait for a first signing of the summer.
Ecuadorian ace Valencia cut short a break back in his homeland to make the trip and will have a medical at Old Trafford today while his contract details are sorted out.
Valencia has been holding out for a move to United for five months since Fergie first showed his hand and tried to buy him from Latics in the last window.
Real Madrid and Bayern Munich were given the brush-off by Valencia and his camp because he wants to make the trip along the M62 and join the champions as Cristiano Ronaldo's replacement.
It is a dream move for Valencia who can expect to quadruple his wages and sign a deal worth around £75,000-a-week.
