Furious Louis van Gaal voices Victor Valdes is free to join Liverpool

Manchester United (12/1 with Coral to win the title) have been allowing Barcelona’s Champions League winning goalkeeper, Victor Valdes, to train with the club this season, as the Spaniard looks to rediscover his fitness and form ahead of a hopeful Premier League move.

However, despite the former Barcelona number one being heavily involved with United’s training regimes, United boss Louis van Gaal, has blasted questions about the former Spain international’s future in England.

Ahead of his side’s trip to Villa Park at the weekend, the former Netherlands boss was angered when asked about talk of Valdes’ involvement with the club, declaring the 32-year-old is free to join bitter rivals Liverpool.

“It’s only talk from you,” said Van Gaal. “Not from us, not from Valdes, only the media. I’m not here to inform the media. You have to wait and listen and see.

“If Liverpool are interested, he goes to Liverpool. The media are suggesting and that’s a big mistake. That’s why I’m always angry because you are inventing stories. There are no stories.

“He is training here. I give him the possibility to do that. We shall see.”

Valdes faces a tough time ahead in the search for a new club, with Van Gaal suggesting he may have no future in the Red of Manchester, but a move across to Merseyside could be another possibility.

Coral take a look at the positives and negatives for Valdes possibly making the move to Premier League side’s Manchester United or Liverpool.

With fellow Spaniard, David De Gea, in sublime form this season for United, Valdes is left with several big decisions. If the former La Liga star is to join Van Gaal at Old Trafford, he would bring a wealth of experience and open the door for possibily giving De Gea some rest during a long season, or maybe even selling the superb stopper.

Real Madrid have long been admirers of United’s stalwart hero this campaign, with his acrobatic saves and stunning performances attracting interest from the Bernabeu giants.
