He's officially signed according to the BBC on a 18-month contract.

Former Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes has accepted an offer to join Manchester United.

The Spain international, who has been training with United in his bid to recover from a serious knee injury, has agreed an 18-month contract.

Valdes, 32, won six La Liga and three Champions League titles with Barcelona, before leaving at the end of last season when his contract expired.

The deal could lead to reserve keeper Anders Lindegaard leaving Old Trafford.
 
Hopefully he doesn't play this season and we renew Daves contract.
 
Hopefully he plays for us in the FA Cup. He was amazing last season for Barca, and it was only till last season I actually considered him world class. Let's hope he can show that form for United, whether that's as a back up or a first team member should Big Dave leave.
 
If hes fit, he'll prob get a game vs Cambridge, would be nice
 
feck. Hope De Gea signs that contract. And stays, come to think of it.
 
Welcome Victor.

Lindegaard will get his move away and we have a solid #2. Wouldn't be surprised to see Valdes leave in the summer though if he gets a #1 position offer. This arrangement benefits everyone.
 
He is actually a very good keeper but past reputations last for years and years and years.

He's not David de Gea though. :(
 
Mignolet and Jones fighting for the #1 spot and we've got Valdes sitting on the bench. You've got to wonder why Liverpool weren't in for him. Surely not because of the wages?

Why did Barca get rid of him if he was so amazing? Or did he choose to leave?
 
Good signing. Hopefully just a back up and not a replacement..

He chose to leave. Barcelona wanted him to stay.

He's signing a 18 month deal. DDG has 18 months on his contract. Doesn't make sense if we're signing him as Dave's replacement.
 
As I said in the other thread - I have absolutely no concerns about losing DDG, because he won't be going anywhere.

Great signing.

He chose to leave for a big pay day at Monaco but he got injured and Monaco ended up backing out.
 
Not too sure what to make of this, he's an ok keeper nothing more.

In matches he's either hot like de gea (but still not as good) or cold like mignolet. He has no consistency.
 
Great singing also could push De Gea to another level having Valdes behind him.
 
Gutted about Lindegaard probably leaving but he deserves to play more with his quality and this is the perfect replacement as a number two. Great signing.
 
Good signing. Now sort our Dave's contract ffs.
 
imo this has nothing to do with De Gea's long term future, if anything it should make him more happy to have a legend as his no2 and share their experiences. Hopefully one of our youth keepers can step up in those 18 months and take over his place when his contract is up.
 
He does raise our sex appeal though.
As if.

Problem is, we don't know how good he is right now and his only real chance of playing will be in the FA Cup.
 
I'm fairly relaxed about this. He's not a long term option of course so I don't see he has any impact on the DDG situation. if Dave goes this summer we still need a replacement for him, this summer.

He's been training with us for a while I believe, so maybe he's just a good character to have around?
 
It's just me so who thinks he's an average keeper who is totally unsuited to English football?

He's clearly not an average keeper. Was one of the best in the world based on his form before his injury and always was a very good keeper before that too.
