Valdes tweets cryptic message following exclusion from Manchester United's tour

The days of Victor Valdes in a Manchester United uniform are virtually over.

After being left of the squad list for the team's preseason tour of the United States, the Spanish 'keeper took to Twitter to release some steam. Sort of.

Instead of ranting about his situation, the former Barcelona net-minder posted a series of pictures with the Under-21 team and the following message:

The message comes after manager Louis van Gaal's harsh comments regarding Valdes' refusal to conform and accept his demotion to the academy team last season.

The next step will be to either sell Valdes or terminate his contract. Either way, it's an unfortunate end to an accomplished player's time with United.
