Valdes happy at Man Utd as De Gea ponders Real Madrid move

Victor Valdes insists he is happy at Manchester United as doubt remains on the club's number one David De Gea.

The 33-year old Spanish goalkeeper joined United in January after leaving Barcelona last summer and has served as back-up to his younger counterpart De Gea.

As 24-year De Gea old ponders whether or not he will move back to his home city to join Real Madrid at the end of the campaign, Valdes has assured United that he will remain at Old Trafford if the club wants him there next term.

"I am very happy to be here," said Valdes.

"I have one more year on my contract here. Let's see what happens. Madrid, Barcelona, Man Utd are three of the biggest clubs in the world.

"Everyone in the world wants to play for these clubs. It's a question you would have to put to David (whether he goes). I cannot answer for him."
