2. Antonio Valencia Is Not The Same Player
Antonio Valencia cost the Red Devils a reported
£16million from Wigan in June 2009. After the 2011-12 season Valencia's won the players' and fans' player of the year award. However, foot and hip injuries meant he lost his place last season and has struggled to recapture his excellent form every since. Against Chelsea Valencia had plenty of opportunities to attack Ashley Cole but shunned the chance to make something happen. United fans will know this is nothing new. Valencia's work effort could not be faulted but his crossing and passing was not up to scratch, and with Ashley Young back fit question marks are starting to appear over Valencia's starting position.
