Here's an offer you can't refuse, Antonio...

Victor Valdes has indicated he might have resolved his differences with Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal, by posting the club badge on his Facebook page. 

Another goalkeeper, though, confirmed his Old Trafford departure on Twitter. Anders Lindegaard posted:  "Very happy to have signed with WBA. Can't wait to get started in my new club!"

Comedian Andy Fury tweeted:  "Fabio Borini says it'll be emotional playing at Sunderland again. Can only assume that emotion is devastation that nobody else bid for him."
