Red Devils ‘complete transfer signing of

Manchester United are expected to complete the signing of goalkeeper Sergio Romero “within hours” report Italian website Tuttomercatoweb.

However, even Valdes is likely to be leaving United this summer following his spat with manager Louis van Gaal and as a result, Lindegaard has been handed an unexpected opportunity to stake a claim as the number one choice at Old Trafford.

Manchester United are closing-in on their fifth major signing of the summer with goalkeeper Sergio Romero due to arrive to undergo his medical ahead of a free transfer move, according to the Express.

Romero is still officially registered with Sampdoria having joined the Serie A side in 2011, but was loaned out to Monaco in 2013-14, where he spent most of his time playing back up to Croatian Daniel Subasic, before returning to Italy last season.

Louis Van Gaal knows all about the Argentine after he helped his nation survive a shootout against Netherlands in last year’s World Cup.

The Red Devils have thus far played two games of their pre-season tour of North America, both of which have been missed by the former Atletico Madrid star through minor injury; however, van Gaal has voiced his expectance that the Spain global will start in their next game against Barcelona [via the Mirror].

Romero had been with Sampdoria since joining the club in 2010 but is now a free agent after his contract expired at the end of June and he’s been strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford in recent weeks.
