Manchester United and Le Havre have ended their feud over the controversial signing of teen ace Paul Pogba.
The French club accused United of offering the 17-year-old financial incentives to tempt him into breaking his contract. The Red Devils have always denied that - and insisted Pogba did not have a deal in place.
They were backed by FIFA, who allowed them to register the youngster in October 2009.
Le Havre threatened to take the matter further but both clubs have now confirmed that all outstanding issues have been resolved.
A statement read: "An agreement has been reached in relation to the registration of Paul Pogba with Manchester United in July 2009. "The terms of the agreement will remain confidential."
Pogba made his debut for United's Under-18 side a few days after joining the club in a 2-1 loss against Crewe Alexandra.
The Ligue 2 side said in a statement that both sides were "satisfied to have reached an agreement regarding Paul Pogba's integration to the Manchester United squad".
"Paul is an exciting young talent who Manchester United hope can prove to be a great success at Old Trafford. Le Havre would like to wish the player well in his future career."
