Fred told the club's website, www.manutd.com: "This is the biggest club in the world and I am delighted to be a part of this amazing team. To work with Jose Mourinho, who has won so many trophies in his time as a coach, is an opportunity not to be missed.
"I cannot wait to get started and to meet my new team-mates. I would like to thank everyone at Shakhtar Donetsk for everything they have done for me over the past five years.
"This is a very exciting time for me with my focus now fully on the World Cup with Brazil."
Fred, aka Frederico Rodrigues de Paula Santos, missed the Selecao's World Cup opening draw against Switzerland with an ankle injury but is expected to be part of the squad to face Costa Rica tomorrow.
