Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is delighted with the way Antonio Valencia has settled.

Valencia faces former club Wigan Athletic today and Ferguson said: "Some players have come to Manchester United and taken to it like a duck to water.

"Some need time.

"I know Antonio will be all right. You can see the potential, particular in training sessions.

"He is quick, he is tough and he is a good crosser of the ball. He has areas he must develop and we have an idea how to go about that but the lad has a chance."
