Barcelona great Valdes still content at Man Utd

Victor Valdes insists he is happy with life at Manchester United.

Valdes made a move to Manchester United during the January transfer window and the switch certainly surprised quite a few people.

Since his move to United, Valdes has not featured at all for even a single minute of first team action and many have been left questioning the 33-year old's logic behind making the transfer to Old Trafford.

Nonetheless, Valdes is not overly concerned by the lack of football coming his way and suggests he is very happy at the moment.

Valdes told the Manchester Evening News: "Seriously, I'm happy. It's not so different for my family. I have three children and my eldest kid is five years old and was already studying English in Barcelona, so it's not a big change for him and his brothers.

"I'm very happy with my knee and playing with my new team-mates. It's a good feeling to be on the pitch again playing football. It is most important for me after my injury.

"I am very happy for this option in my career after my injury. I never thought maybe I will be a player of Manchester United but the manager called me and gave me this option, so it was a surprise for me.

"I always say it's great for my career to be a part of this club and part of this team and, maybe, I hope to win another important trophy here too.

"They (United and Barcelona) are both massive clubs with a massive number of trophy wins and the number of fans around the world is so big. I think it's the same when you play for one of the most important clubs in the world, Man U or Barcelona, you must win always."
