Manchester United fullback Antonio Valencia is happy playing in the same team as Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

A major part of Valencia's quality at right-back is his enthusiasm for attacking and unleashing crosses into the area, which have already provided several assists for Ibrahimovic this season. The presence of the towering striker has changed the way United are playing when going forward.

"Now we have someone in the box who we can aim for," Valencia told MUTV. "In addition, we know exactly who he is and that he's made a great impression at whatever club he's played at. Now he's started off on the right foot here at United and we're all here to help him when we can.

"We know that we can play the ball up to him because we know that he holds the ball up well, and that he can also find and bring in other midfielders in wide positions. You know that it's always a sound option when you give the ball to him."
