London: Victor Valdes`s wife has slammed Manchester United for failing to invite the Spanish goalkeeper to a high-profile charity event at Old Trafford.
The 33-year-old`s wife Yolanda Cardona took to Instagram to criticise the club for their conduct.
Underneath a picture taken at the event of Juan Mata, Marco Rojo, Sergio Romero, David De Gea, Ander Herrera and their partners, she wrote: "Do not invite to my husband @vicvaldes1 to be part of the #united4unicef , its the last thing you don`t expect from one of the biggest club as @manchesterunited. A Charity event, its always a Charity event."
United said former Barcelona star Valdes was not invited because he is no longer a member of the first-team squad.
Valdes signed for United on an 18-month contract in January, but he has only played two games for the club.
Van Gaal told the three-time Champions League winner he was free to leave the club in the close-season after the United boss accused him of refusing to play for the Under-21 side.
In response, the 33-year-old posted a picture on Twitter that reminded supporters he had played for the Under-21s on three occasions last year. Alongside the picture, Valdes wrote: ".....? #respect."
Valdes, who played under van Gaal during the Dutchman`s second spell at Barcelona, has not been given a squad number for United this year and was also left out of the United squad list that was submitted to the Premier League after the transfer window closed.
