Louis Van Gaal's brutal isolation of Victor Valdes

The relationship between Louis van Gaal and Victor Valdes has deteriorated to the point that the Manchester United goalkeeper is not allowed to use his locker in the dressing room of the first team, was excluded from the official photo for the season and now is not even allowed to train with the Under-21 or youth teams.

According to the Guardian, the ostracism that Valdes has undergone has surprised the other Manchester United players. Victor has been isolated, including his training schedules being adjusted so that he cannot see his peers. If the squad trains in the morning, the l'Hospitalet born goalkeeper must train in the afternoon, and vice versa. And if the training time is switched for the squad, Valdes' is switched too to keep him apart.
