Evra has been assigned the no. 27 shirt and could make his debut against Watford on February 10 at London Stadium.
He told West Ham's official website: "I'm really happy to be a Hammer, to be back in the Premier League and I love this game!"
"It's amazing to be back and I am thankful to West Ham for giving me the opportunity to do my job. When I wake up and know I am going to work hard, to have fun with my team-mates and give my best on the pitch, I want to say a massive thanks to West Ham, to the chairman, to the manager to all my teammates, who have given me a nice welcome, my agent and my brother.
"I'm just happy to be here, it's really simple. You don't realise how lucky you are and just to wake up this morning and know I am going to train with my new teammates.
Evra, who spent eight-and-a-half years at United in total - including the 2013/14 season alongside current West Ham manager David Moyes - was sacked Marseille and banned by UEFA following an altercation with a supporter.The ban, which runs until June 30, only relates to UEFA tournaments and does not prevent Evra from playing in any domestic competitions, including the Premier League.
Evra says he jumped at the chance to sign for West Ham once he was made aware of the opportunity to be reunited with Moyes.
He said: "It happened really fast. My agent called me and told me I needed to come back [from Dubai] to London as quick as I could and I had a nice meeting with the manager, who I know from Manchester United, of course, and I met the Chairman, so it was really easy.

Alexis Sanchez avoids jail after guilty plea in Spanish tax fraud case !
Sanchez, who
recently left Arsenal to join Manchester United, reached an agreement with the
Spanish Attorney General to pay back the tax he failed to pay, a sum of just
under £900,000, plus a fine of £525,000.
He was also
handed the jail sentence but will not have to spend any time in prison unless
he commits a similar offence within the next two years.
Sanchez joined Barcelona in July
2011 and played nearly 150 games for the club before leaving for the Premier
League three years later.
He was
accused of defrauding the Spanish Treasury of 1m euros between 2012 and 2013,
relating to income from his image rights.
The
Chilean is the latest in a long line of football stars to be pursued by Spanish
tax authorities over their image rights, with Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo,
Jose Mourinho and Ricardo Carvalho all being investigated.
Messi was
handed a 21-month jail term in 2016 but saw that reduced to a fine as Spanish
law means first-time offenders sentenced to less than two years in jail do not
serve any jail time.
