Argentina Goalkeeper Sergio Romero set to sign for Manchester United

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.
