Man Utd happy to bump up Valencia wages to £80,000-a-week

Manchester United are handing Antonio Valencia a new double-your-money deal.

The Sun says the Ecuador international midfielder is expected to sign a four-year contract worth £80,000 a week.

Valencia, 25, is a key part of Alex Ferguson's squad and has battled back to fitness from a broken ankle he suffered in a Champions League clash against Rangers last September.

United chief executive David Gill said: "Antonio has been at the Copa America and we have been on tour but we are in the process of finalising things and it will be a long-term deal."
