Manchester United are set to complete the signing of shot-stopper Paul Woolston after a successful trial period at the club.

The 20-year-old was released by Newcastle but the Red Devils have seemingly been impressed by his abilities. In particular, Woolston's distribution has caught the eye of United's coaches.

Woolston isn't the tallest, however, standing at around 6ft - which is one of the reasons why he was let go by the Magpies.

News of United's intent to wrap up a deal for the goalkeeper comes at the same time as reports of Juventus ' intent to sign David De Gea.

The goalkeeper has still not signed a new contract with the Premier League club.

According to the Sun, the Old Lady are batting their eyelids at the Spanish stopper - and the 27-year-old's agents are open to the idea.

De Gea is out of contract in the summer, but United do have the option of extending for a further year.
