Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag failed to sign Ryan Gravenberch after trying to lure him away from Bayern Munich this summer.
The Dutch midfielder confirmed his switch to the Bundesliga giants after landing in the Bavarian city on Saturday morning to complete his £21million move.
Gravenberch had also spoken to Manchester United and his former Ajax boss about a potential deal, but said he turned the opportunity down as he had 'given Bayern his word'.
Gravenberch described United as a 'very nice club' but said he had a 'good feeling' about Bayern Munich so subsequently signed for them instead.
