Manchester United’s Victor Valdes joins Standard Liege on loan


Manchester United have confirmed that goalkeeper Victor Valdes has joined Belgian side Standard Liege on loan for the rest of the season.

The 34-year-old will remain with the Belgian club until the end of the season and then become a free agent. He has made just two appearances for the Red Devils since arriving from Barcelona a year ago.

Manager Louis van Gaal made the Spaniard available for transfer at the start of the season after he reportedly refused to play in a reserve game and was not given a squad number.

On Thursday, Valdes sent a farewell message to United’s fans, saying: “Thank you all for your support during these months of hard work for me. I will never forget! See you soon!”


Valdes won the Champions League three times with Barcelona and was in the Spain squad that won the World Cup and European Championship.
