United outcast Victor Valdes keen for reconciliation with Louis van Gaal

Former Barcelona goalkeeper Valdes, who has often been training and dining alone at Carrington after Van Gaal publicly accused him of refusing to play for the club's Under 21 side last season, has been told to find another club but his move to Besiktas collapsed on Sunday.

Sources close to Valdes say that he would be open to the possibility of making a reconciliation with the Red Devils boss but for that to happen, the Dutchman would have to swallow his pride and welcome Valdes back into the fold.

United will let Anders Lindegaard join West Brom on Tuesday while David de Gea remains optimistic he will sign for Real Madrid by the 11.59pm deadline. 

It could leave United with only Sergio Romero and Sam Johnstone to keep goal, although Real Madrid's Keylor Navas could be included in the De Gea deal. Ajax's Jasper Cillessen could also join United if De Gea leaves.

Valdes and Van Gaal had infamous rows on the training field when the two were together at Barcelona but would often make up afterwards. On this occasion, Van Gaal has shown little desire to soften his stance.

Valdes was on the brink of leaving for Besiktas last weekend but was left seething after the Turkish side attempted to alter the agreement at the final moment. 

It leaves Valdes and his agent exploring several options as the clock ticks down, with several offers on the table.
