ECUADOR winger Antonio Valencia has signed a new four-year contract with Manchester United ahead of the new season.
The 25-year-old Valencia has scored 10 times in 69 appearances since joining from Wigan Athletic in 2009 and won the English Premier League for the first time in May. "Antonio has made a fantastic contribution since his arrival," United manager Alex Ferguson said yesterday. "His speed, crossing ability and versatility have been a big asset for us." Valencia's progress last season was stalled by an ankle injury that sidelined him for six months, but he returned to play a key role in United's progress to the UEFA Champions League final and was in the team that lost to Barcelona.
