Goalkeeper Sergio Romero set to sign for Manchester United - sources

Manchester United are set to complete the signing of Argentina international goalkeeper Sergio Romero, sources have told ESPN FC.

United have targeted a move for free agent Romero as they are ready to sell Victor Valdes after the Spaniard had a falling out with Louis van Gaal.

Van Gaal revealed earlier this month Valdes was up for sale after he refused to play in an under-21s game last season to work on his fitness.

United have moved quickly to fill the void to be left by Valdes' expected departure by lining up Romero.

Romero is a free agent after leaving Sampdoria this summer upon the expiration of his contract.

Sources have told ESPN FC that Romero has agreed a three-year deal with United and is set to fly out to America to link up with his new teammates this weekend on their preseason tour.

Romero has a wealth of experience with the player with the No.1 keeper for Argentina at last summer's World Cup finals and this year's Copa America.
