Manchester United appear to have added another goalkeeper.

The Daily Mail reported Wednesday that the Red Devils signed former Barcelona shot-stopper Victor Valdes, who has been looking for a new club since his contract with the Spanish side ended at the conclusion of last season.

Valdes has been training with United for the last two months as he continues to recover from a torn ACL suffered last March, and it seems manager Louis van Gaal is satisfied with the Spaniard's progress.

The deal, yet to be made official, is reportedly for two years.

Should the signing be confirmed, it will likely mean current backup 'keeper Anders Lindegaard will be sent on loan this month to ensure he sees some playing time elsewhere.
