The Ecuadorian winger was recently made the new Manchester United no.7, a feat that enters his name into the long list of number 7 legends such as Cantona, Best, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Beckham-c10432 but Valencia is still humble and looking
forward to living up to the expectations...
Luis http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Valencia-c6345 has come out and admitted that he has been truly humbled by the fact that he has been made the new Manchester United no.7. The number seven jersey has a long history at Manchester United as it has been worn
by greats such as George Best, Eric Cantona, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robson-c31388.
Nonetheless, recently the number seven jersey was given to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Owen-c25355 whose contract with the former Premier League champions ended with the conclusion of the last league campaign.
Sir Alex Ferguson has now decided that it will be http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 who will wear the no. 7 shirt in the upcoming season. Valencia was a standout performer for Ferguson’s outfit near the business end of the Premier League season.
The former Wigan man was accurate with his crossing and his versatile nature also meant that he was responsible enough to track back and help his full back out. Not only that, Valencia also netted crucial goals such as the one
against Blackburn http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rovers-c40385 at Ewood Park.
The new number seven said, "I’m excited to be wearing the no.7 shirt in the coming season. It's a number I really respect because so many great players have worn the shirt and made history for Manchester United in it. Now I hope
I can write my own.”
He added, “We are all looking forward to the new campaign. On a personal level, I want to be involved in every game, but to be honest I think more from a team perspective and I'd love us to win all the competitions we play in,
particularly the Premier League and Champions League.”
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 will hope that the Manchester United winger is not bogged down with injuries as he was for some part of the previous league campaign as United will need him on their right wing to provide quality service to the likes of
Hernandez and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736.
