"We needed to strengthen our defence and Phil is a good addition to the squad," Sunderland boss Roy Keane said of his latest recruit.
Bardsley came through the youth ranks at Old Trafford and made just 18 first team appearances during his 5 years with United.
He had loan spells at Glasgow Rangers, Aston Villa and most recently Sheffield United.
