Man Utd striker Rooney: Exciting to have Nani, Valencia on flanks

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has again declared his happiness over Antonio Valencia's return from injury.

The Ecuadorian winger, 25, has now made two substitute appearances and started yesterday following his return to action from an ankle injury he picked up in September.

Rooney said: "I was probably the happiest person in the team to see him back and he looks like he has never been away.

"Having Nani on one wing and Antonio on the other is fantastic because they each bring something different.

"Nani has created a lot of goals but he's more about dribbling and getting shots off while Antonio is more focused on getting down the line and whipping the ball in.

"It is a good mixture for us to have.''
