The 20-year-old Norway under-21s stopper arrives at the club for an undisclosed fee as a replacement for the outgoing Kiko Casilla who has joined La Liga side Elche on a season-long loan.

Klaesson - who has signed a four-year deal - follows Junior Firpo in being a new face for United's first team squad this summer.
