Victor Valdes is set to give Manchester United fans the ultimate slap in the face

What would Carlos Tevez do?

There could just be a future for Victor Valdes in Manchester after all – if he’s willing to move to the Eastlands.

The United ‘keeper-come-spectator is plying his dodgy trade in Belgium with Standard Liege and looks to have no way back to Old Trafford under the current regime.

However, despite David De Gea more than likely moving on this summer and Louis van Gaal’s future up in the air, Valdes might not even stick around to find out.

The 34-year-old, who admitted that he could’ve died when he was forced to train alone at United, is said to be in talks with none other than Manchester City.

According to Sport, Valdes and City have engaged in informal talks with the former Barcelona goalkeeper reported to have met with club chief Txiki Begiristain.

The interest would suggest that Pep Guardiola is working two jobs at once. The Bayern Munich manager is set to take over at the Etihad in the summer and is apparently ready to hand his old number one a two-year deal to join him.
