Victor Valdes' wife has hit out at Manchester United for not inviting him to a charity function at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Manager Louis van Gaal and his first-team squad attended the club's annual dinner for Unicef, which raised £230,000.

Valdes, however, was absent as United say he is not a member of the main pool and Yolanda Cardona took to Instagram to criticise the club for their conduct.

She wrote her post underneath a picture taken at the event of Juan Mata, Marco Rojo, Sergio Romero, David de Gea, Ander Herrera and their partners.

Cardona said: "Do not invite to my husband @vicvaldes1 to be part of the #united4unicef, its the last thing you don't expect from one of the biggest club as @manchesterunited. A Charity event, its always a Charity event."

Valdes joined United on an 18-month contract in January but has only played two games for the club.

Van Gaal told the three-time Champions League winner he was free to leave in the summer after the United boss accused him of refusing to play for the U21 side.

In response, the 33-year-old posted a picture on Twitter to remind supporters he had played for the U21s three times last season. Alongside the picture, he wrote: ".....? #respect."

Valdes has not been given a squad number this season, was omitted from the club's Premier League pool and official team photo and has not trained with the senior squad this term.
