Man Utd boss Ferguson hails Valencia performance for Wolves win

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was delighted with the goal scoring performance of Antonio Valencia in victory over Wolves.

Valencia had been in outstanding form before suffering a hamstring injury against Ajax last month and he appears to have picked up where he left off.

"He could be very important," said Ferguson. "His form before he got the injury was outstanding.

"Now he is back we hope he stays back fit. He is such an honest, hard working player.

"You get two sides to Antonio. He is prepared to work really hard. He can tackle, he can run, but he can also beat a man.

"He has got everything really."
