Just like Luke Shaw in the summer, Victor Valdes has decided to follow Manchester United on Twitter before anything has been officially confirmed by the club.

At this stage with Valdes now that BBC, The Times, The Telegraph and the Daily Mail have all reported the deal in unison, it would be more than a big surprise if it was not confirmed soon enough.

Valdes is also following the accounts of Ander Herrera, David de Gea, Juan Mata, Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie.

Valdes will become the second confirmed deal which United have completed this January following Sam Johnstone‘s extended loan spell at Doncaster Rovers and may well not be the last.

The general reaction among fans is positive towards a deal for Valdes but there are some who are concerned about whether it could effect David de Gea‘s future. We’ll be bringing you a fan reaction article later this afternoon.
