The
25-year-old, who is currently at the World Cup in Russia, joins on a
five-year-deal.
He becomes
manager Jose Mourinho's second signing this summer following Portuguese
full-back Diogo
Dalot's arrival at Old Trafford.
"This
is the biggest club in the world and I am delighted to be a part of this
amazing team," said Fred.
"To
work with Jose Mourinho, who has won so many trophies in his time as a coach,
is an opportunity not to be missed."
Mourinho
said: "Fred will complement our other midfielders' qualities, which we
need; his creative brain and passing vision will give us another dimension to
our game."
Fred scored
15 goals in 155 appearances for Ukrainian side Shakhtar after joining from
Internacional in 2013.
During that
time, he helped Shakhtar win three league titles, three Ukrainian Cups and four
Ukrainian Super Cups.
Fred also
helped Shakhtar reach the Champions League knockout stages last season, and
played in victories over Manchester City and
Napoli, scoring in a 2-1 win over Roma in the last 16.
He was an
unused substitute in Brazil's World Cup opener against Switzerland, which finished in a 1-1 draw.
