VÃctor Valdes has responded to Louis van Gaal’s criticism of his commitment after being told by the Manchester United manager that he will be sold because he refused to play for the reserves last season.
Valdes took to Twitter this morning, posting a montage of photos that showed a number of reserve-team matches he had played in, in an apparent attempt to respond to Van Gaal’s criticism of his commitment.

The Dutchman said on Wednesday:
“Valdes is not selected [for the tour] because he doesn't follow my philosophy. The philosophy is how you play football and how you maintain your match rhythm,” said Van Gaal.
"He refused last year to play in the second team. There are a lot of other aspects in the philosophy how you have to play like a goalkeeper at Manchester United.
"When you are not willing [to apply] the principles of that philosophy there is only one way, and that is out.
"For us this is a big disappointment. We thought he would follow our philosophy."
Valdes signed an 18-month contract in January but is in talks with Valencia over a possible loan move.
