Victor Valdes is already making his mark at Manchester United after it was revealed the goalkeeper made a stirring pre-match presentation to the Under-21 side.

The Spaniard arrived at Old Trafford earlier this month, but is yet to make a first-team appearance as compatriot David de Gea continues to impress.

Valdes had his first outing for the Under-21s on Monday, and coach Warren Joyce has spoken of how the keeper showed his team-mates a video beforehand.

"The lads are in the room listening to this," said Joyce. "It was unbelievable.

"I was going to do something but Victor said '[Pep] Guardiola used to do this'.

"He's a very humble guy and a model professional."
