Mata is rumoured to double up on his previous £70,000 per week contract with the Blues and sources says he will get shirt number 7.
Before the transfer was confirmed, twitter was abuzz on Saturday evening as Mata's personal Twitter account saw him change from calling himself a Chelsea player to a Manchester United one.
Mata told MUTV, "I am thrilled to be joining United. I have enjoyed some very happy years at Chelsea but the time has come for a new challenge. United is the perfect place for me and I am excited at the chance I have to be part of the next phase in the club's history.
"Today is a very happy day... I'm looking forward to playing my first game and to score."
United manager David Moyes said, "Juan is one of the finest playmakers in the game today and it's a real pleasure to have secured his signature. He's been instrumental in Chelsea's recent success, with a notable 28 assists and 32 goals in his last two Premier League seasons.
"I have been impressed with the excitement he has shown to be part of the new Manchester United. I know our fans have admired Juan for some time now – he has always played well against us – and I know they will be delighted to see him in the red of United, starting on Tuesday."
