Ricardo:
'There is an agreement between both clubs, Valladolid and Manchester United, and with the player Ricardo for him to sign for Manchester United,' the players agent Pedro Bravo said.
'The player will fly today to Manchester and is set to sign the contract.
'If there are no last-minute complications, the deal can be said to be finalised,'
Fabian from the Sun:
United arranged a secret friendly with Bolton yesterday, designed specifically for Barthez and full-back Gary Neville.
And the keeper turned in such a breathtaking display in a 0-0 draw that he could return to the first team for tomorrow's trip to Sunderland.
