Victor Valdez sent van Gaal a message on Twitter

Victor Valdes has sent a message to Louis van Gaal via Twitter as he battles for his release from Manchester United. The Spanish goalkeeper has become a persona non grata at Carrington after a bust-up with Van Gaal wrote “To not let down those that want to see me play again is my motivation. I fight to be free and to enjoy my profession.” Attached was a picture of the goalkeeper’s hand, with the handwritten scrawl: “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.”
