Sunderland boss Steve Bruce insists Wigan Athletic winger Antonio Valencia can entertain the most demanding of crowds.

Both Sunderland and Manchester United are chasing the Ecuador international and Bruce said: "Valencia has got that thing which not many players have anymore - the ability to dribble. Someone who can run with the ball, take it up the pitch and beat a man is now becoming a dying breed - there aren't many around.

"We don't produce players who want to dribble, we seem to produce the archetypal steady English player. If a player does want to take his man on and run with the ball, people will want to pay to go and see him."
