Free-agent goalkeeper, Victor Valdes, has rejected a short-term contract offer from Manchester United after telling the club he doesn’t want to be David De Gea’s back-up.
The Spaniard, who left FC Barcelona in the Summer after his contract expires, has been out of action since early this year, when he suffered a horrific knee injury, and he has recently been training with Manchester United in order to build up his fitness.
However, that then lead to Louis Van Gaal offering the 32-year-old a short-term contract at the club.
According to Spanish reports, Valdes declined the chance to join the club due to lack of first-team opportunities, but despite turning them down, he will still train with them in order to get fully fit again.
Liverpool and AS Monaco have both been tracking Valdes but so far, neither have offered him concrete contracts.
