Man Utd fullback Valencia flattered by Herrera's 'world best' claim

Manchester United fullback Antonio Valencia is proud of the praise from teammate Ander Herrera.

Herrera declared Valencia the best right-back in the world.

"Well, I'm grateful for Ander's kind words but what I try and do is to simply work hard every day in training," Valencia modestly told MUTV.

"I want to put a shift in for United, the team that I love. I always want to give everything for this team. I'm not interested in personal glory like that, not at all! Of course it's really nice of Ander to have said that, but what I'm all about is just working hard."
