Several newspaper reports claim that former Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes has agreed an 18-month contract with Manchester United.
The Spanish goalkeeper, a winner of six Liga titles and three Champions League crowns with Barcelona, had been training at Old Trafford in recent months as he continues rehabilitation from a serious injury.
The injury had prevented him from finding a new club in the summer, when his contract at Camp Nou ran out, and he had been rumoured to be in line for a move to Liverpool.
But the Reds cooled their interest in October, and the Times and Daily Mail now report that Valdes has instead agreed a deal with Louis van Gaal's side which will see him act as David de Gea's back-up.
Van Gaal "has been impressed enough in recent weeks to offer him a deal," the Mail's report claims.
"Valdes’ arrival will give De Gea proper competition at Old Trafford for the first time. Current No 2 Anders Lindegaard is not considered good enough by Van Gaal."
