Lewis is reportedly training with United’s academy to keep fit while he is on the lookout for a new club.

The 36-year-old is an EFL cult hero and a former England Under-21 international.

He came through the ranks at Norwich and then spent five seasons with Peterborough, winning three promotions with the club.

He then moved to Cardiff in 2012 and played one match while they were in the Premier League the following year.

There has been speculation he would hang up his gloves and begin a new career as an agent.
