Valdes Deserves Better - Casillas

Porto goalkeeper Iker Casillas has lashed

out at Manchester United over Victor

Valdes' sad situation at the club.

The Span international made a switch to

Old Trafford in October 2014 initially to

train with the club as he recovered from

a serious knee injury.

Valdes, who penned an 18-month

contract with the English giants, is yet to

have his time in the lime light and has

subsequently fallen out of favour with

manager Louis van Gaal, who claimed

the Spaniard refused to play in a reserve

game.

"I want to send all my support and a lot

of encouragement to Victor," he told El

Mundo Deportivo. "This is proof that at

times football is ungrateful.

"He deserves to find a solution soon

because of the type of player he is.”

It was expected that Valdes would make

a switch to Turkish side Besiktas, as he

was linked heavily to the club at the end

of transfer window but he chose to

remain at Old Trafford despite having

being excluded from their Champions

League squad and Casillas is hoping his

situation improves.

"Had they told us a year-and-a-half ago

that he would be in this situation, no one

would have believed it,” he added.

"Obviously, no one wishes him that. I

know he will come out of this situation

because he has a privileged mind and I

really hope he comes out of this.

"I'm certain he will succeed because we

all get back to enjoying ourselves [after

leaving a club]."
