The Manchester United winger, Ashley Young, has praised his Ecuadorian team mate Antonio Valencia and said that there are not many players in the world who are more versatile than Valencia.

Valencia was one of the most successful players for United in the last season. He had scored 6 goals and set up 15 goals in the last season. He was also named as the fans’ player of the year.

Valencia hasn’t been able to show the same kind of form in the ongoing season, but, Young told Man Utd news, there is nothing to worry about Valencia’s form. There is still a long way to go in the season and Valencia would come good at some point of time.

As per Young, Valencia is one of those players who take care of his fitness very well. He spends a lot of time in the gym and he is one of the fittest players going around. Also, he never takes success for granted. He works hard in the training sessions and his approach towards the game is fantastic.

The young players can learn a lot from him. The manager of Manchester United, Sir Alex Ferguson, has also agreed with Young’s views about Valencia. As per Ferguson, he is very impressed with the way Valencia has developed his game. The Ecuadorian has gone from strength to strength. He is a very quick learner which is a great quality to have.

Ashley Young was not able to play for United in the match against Southampton. On being asked about his fitness, Ferguson said that Young’s knee injury is not serious. It’s a minor one. He has rested in the last two days and he would definitely get fit before United’s next match against Wigan Athletic.
