Something on Soccernet:
* Has Valencia been taking wing-back lessons over the international break? So often the cause of dismay when close to his own goal, the Ecuadorian dealt effectively with the threat of Alexis Sanchez and Welbeck whenever they drifted wide.
Valencia had more touches of the ball than any other United player, recorded a significantly higher pass completion than any other of United's five defenders, was one of only four United players to create a chance and made more successful tackles than any other player on the pitch.
He remains by no means the finished article, but Valencia fully justified his manager's faith.
