Victor Valdes is eager to help keep David de Gea in form at Manchester United after agreeing an 18-month deal at Old Trafford.

United confirmed on Thursday that they had completed the capture of free agent Valdes, who has been training with the club and will serve as number two to De Gea. 

The latter has displayed fine form under Louis van Gaal this season – with reports suggesting Real Madrid may be keen on signing the former Atletico Madrid man.

However, Valdes feels his arrival at Old Trafford will help De Gea maintain form rather than increase speculation around his future.

“I think now, in the moment, [De Gea] is the best goalkeeper in the world,” the ex-Barcelona keeper told United’s official website.

“His performance every day and in every game shows everybody that his level is very high.

“He has had a great year and it is very nice. Now I think he is the best goalkeeper in the world.

“I am here to help everybody. Always in my career, I have played to help my team-mates, to help my coach and to help everybody.

“I am a part of the team and I am not a problem, I am just a part of the team. If I play a game, I am always thinking about playing well and to help the other team-mates, to help them to win the match.”

    I think Valdes has lost his mind… De Gea the best keeper in the world? Don’t get me wrong he’s a great keeper but surely he isn’t better than Neuer… Just compare the numbers. De Gea has played in 28 matches for club and country since the WC, he came on as a sub the last 2 WC matches, and has allowed 27 goals. Compared to Neuer only allowing 16 goals in 33 and 3 of those came against Man City a man down… Sure you can add the 4 against Argentina. It was a friendly but still a rematch of the final nonetheless so technically 20. Still less goals in more matches played than De Gea…
