Finally, Manchester United’s Victor Valdes nightmare is possibly a thing of the past. The United Goalkeeper is now moving over to Besiktas on a two-year deal, claim reports from the English media.
Earlier in the summer, Manager Louis Van Gaal stated that the Red Devils were dead set on selling the Goalkeeper. This decision was reached after Victor Valdes chest-thumped himself out of a reserve match in the 2014-2015 Season.
As punishment, Valdes was left out of the squad that embarked on a pre-season tour of the United States. Reports coming from the team’s stable indicate that Victor Valdes turned up to train at Carrington only to find his training gear moved to the dressing room dedicated to Manchester United’s Under 21 team.
When the Red Devils announced their squad numbers for the 2015-2015 premier league season Valdes was in for a rude surprise! The famed former Barcelona keeper was not handed any number!
He Brought This unto Himself
The only compensation awarded to Valdes was a ticket to watch Manchester United the season versus Tottenham Hotspur. Valdes also wasn’t an issued an official team suit and tie! Punters engaging in discussion on free bets forums jibed at the Spaniard claiming that he was left to bring his jacket!
Victor Valdes only managed to make two appearances for the English side (Manchester United) before being traded off!
