Valencia not concerned about arrival of Young as United winger bids to fight for his place


Manchester United's Antonio Valencia insists he is not worried about the arrival of fellow winger Ashley Young.
The England international has completed his move to Old Trafford for a fee of around £17million.
But Valencia, who missed a large part of last season through injury, says he doesn't fear losing his place.

'The season is long, and under Alex Ferguson everyone will get their chance in United’s key matches.
'Ashley is a good footballer and I believe that he will help us towards even more success next season.
'As for myself, I have two seasons left at United and I am convinced I will fulfil those. And maybe a few more years, too.'
Valencia is currently on international duty with Ecuador - preparing for the Copa America - and played down reports linking him with a move away.
'There are rumours about other clubs but I have no news about that,” said Valencia.
'I am just focused on the Copa America and performing with Ecuador.
'I have now recovered from the injury problems of last season.'
