Manchester United have confirmed the signing of Argentina international Sergio Romero on a three-year deal.
The goalkeeper heads to Old Trafford on a free transfer after his Sampdoria contract expired at the end of last season.
"I am absolutely delighted to join Manchester United," Romero told the club's official website.
"To play for the biggest club in the world is a dream come true for me. Louis van Gaal is a fantastic manager and I cannot wait to get started on this new and exciting challenge in my career."

United manager Van Gaal, who coached Romero during his time at AZ Alkmaar, said that he was delighted to have added the keeper to his squad.
"Sergio is a very talented goalkeeper," he said. "He was a young keeper during my time at AZ Alkmaar and I am delighted he is joining Manchester United.
"He had a fantastic World Cup last summer in Brazil, although that is something I have put to the back of my mind! He will be a great addition to the team and I am looking forward to working with him once again."
