The deal was reportedly in tatters, as several newspapers reported that Blackburn wanted more than the £16 million reportedly in Phil Jones contract as a release clause, and Liverpool had allegedly bid £6 million more for the highly rated young defender.
But on monday, United reported that they have finally sealed the deal for a fee that could rise to £17 million.
And Jones, announced to his twitter fans "It's a once in a lifetime opportunity and I'm looking forward to a new challenge.
"I'd just like to say that I've loved my time at Blackburn and I will always be a huge fan."
