Victor Valdes’ life at Manchester United hits a new low

Why would you even bother

The man must have no peace.

If Victor Valdes didn’t shave his head, we’d suspect he wouldn’t have a hair on his bonce left anyway with how he has been allegedly treated at Old Trafford in recent months.

The former Barcelona man has fallen foul, to put it mildly, of Louis van Gaal, and has been banished to train with the reserves as well as being pretty much barred from anything to do with the first team squad.

And now, according to goal.com, the goalkeeper has been warned that he cannot come to training now at Carrington until the first team has left the complex.

The report states that Louis van Gaal is so worried about the negative influence that Valdes may have on the other players that he wants to keep him away from his fellow Manchester United first-team colleagues as much as possible.

And if the Spain international does somehow arrive at Carrington before the first team ,the he’ll have to open his wallet and pay a fine to the club for his lack of discipline.

Valdes has endured a nightmare in his time at Old Trafford and it seems likely the goalkeeper will be allowed leave the club in January, with Liverpool and Newcastle both linked with the net-minder.

His last tweet, over a month ago, may give a clue to the lonely existence that Valdes now faces at the club
