Shaw's arrival takes new boss Louis Van Gaal's summer spending to close to the £60m mark after Ander Herrera's move from Athletic Bilbao was confirmed on Thursday.
Rooney was joined in welcoming Shaw to Old Trafford by team-mates Michael Carrick and Ashley Young, who also extended the invitation to £29m man Herrera.
Carrick tweeted: "Welcome @anderherrera8 and @LukeShaw3 .... You will love it at this great club. See you soon boys."

Van Gaal has been handed a £200m transfer war chest as he looks to revolutionise the Old Trafford dressing room after their dismal 2013-14 campaign under previous manager David Moyes.
Herrera was wanted at Old Trafford last summer but Moyes was unable to get a deal done.
Shaw, meanwhile, enjoyed a hughely-succesful breakthrough season at Southampton, which saw him earn a call-up for Roy Hodgson's England World Cup squad.
The 18-year-old thanked his former club for their help in the development of his career, but admitted he can't wait to get going with at United.
Delighted to have signed for @ManUtd ! Looking forward to the future, thank you to all the fans for your nice messages ������
