Victor Valdes put up for sale by Louis van Gaal as he didn’t follow the Dutchman’s philosophy

As far as unsuccessful spells go, Victor Valdes' time at Manchester United is right up there.

The Barcelona legend is for sale according to Louis van Gaal, just six months after signing for the club. Valdes refused to play in the reserves last season according to the Dutchman and was not selected to take part in United's pre-season tour of the U.S.A.   The 33-year-old made just two appearances for the Red Devils since signing in January after training with United in a bid to rehabilitate a knee injury. "He doesn't follow my philosophy," van Gaal said. There is no place for someone like that." The news means that Manchester United will be likely to redouble their efforts to hang onto current number one David de Gea who continues to be linked with a move to Real Madrid.
