The new arrival brings plenty of experience to the to United after previous spells with PAOK Salonika and Legia Warsaw.

Speaking yeaterday, United boss Craig Levein said: "The injury to Lukasz Zaluska has left us short of first-team experience in a very important area of the team and we felt it important to try and fix up an early addition to the squad. Grzegorz comes highly recommended and is a player I was aware of before. Assuming all the paperwork and clearances are completed in time, he will be included in the squad for the Barcelona game."
