Manchester United have confirmed the signing of Argentine goalkeeper Sergio Romero on a three-year deal.

The 28-year-old will replace Victor Valdes, who was shown the door at Old Trafford after apparently refusing to play for United’s second team.

“To play for the biggest club in the world is a dream come true for me,” said Romero in a statement on the club’s website.
