Sir Alex Ferguson Salutes Winger

Ant­o­nio Valencia

Manchester United chief Sir Alex Fer­guson was pleased with his team’s effort in the 2–0 vic­tory against Black­burn Rovers at Ewood Park on Monday night.  The Old Traf­ford man­ager par­tic­u­larly singled out Ecuador inter­na­tional wing wiz­ard Ant­o­nio Valen­cia who scored one goal and made one assist against The Blue and Whites.

Sir Alex Fer­guson: “The goals came so late, which typ­i­fies the his­tory of Manchester United. Com­ing when it did, the Ant­o­nio Valen­cia goal was very import­ant. If you don’t try to shoot you will never find out if you can score. It had great power. It is vital that we win that game. We are also helped by hav­ing made up the goals defi­cit on Manchester City. I think it was 18 at one time. David de Gea’s pro­gress is clear. He has always had great abil­ity and kept us in the game here so we could go on and get those goals.”
