Victor Valdes to leave United in January — agent

Victor Valdes’ difficult spell at Manchester United is set to end in January, according to his agent.

The ex-Barcelona goalkeeper has only made two appearances since joining the Red Devils in January after recovering from knee surgery. Valdes has had a strained relationship with United manager Louis van Gaal and was not given a squad number for the 2015-16 campaign.

When asked about Valdes’ future, his agent Gines Carvajal said: “He’ll have a chance (to play) in January, wherever he goes. He needs to go to a place he feels is right for him.”
