A section of Manchester United players are said to be unhappy with how Louis van Gaal is treating Victor Valdes

Pray for Victor

Kevin McGillicuddy

The guy just cannot catch a break.

As if Victor Valdes didn’t know already but the Spanish goalkeeper is really not wanted by Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal.

The former Barcelona man barely featured last season, and but surely must have been thinking that if David De Gea left for Madrid the No 1 spot would be his this summer.

Well it didn’t quite work out that way as Van Gaal questioned his commitment to the club and his attitude, before the netminder appeared to hit back on Twitter with a tweet aimed at the Dutchman’s use of his talents

Valdes is currently up for sale and the club are clearly looking to force him out according to the latest reports from their training ground, Carrington.

According to the Daily Mail the club, under the instruction of Van Gaal, have moved Valdes’ stuff from the senior dressing room lockers into the reserve and U21 area.

The goalkeeper is also have reported to have eaten lunch this week on his own at the club as well as training on his tod too.

However the hard line being taken by the club is reported to have upset his team-mates such as De Gea, Juan Mata and Ander Herrera who feel the player deserves a little bit more respect from the club.
