Antonio Valencia says Manchester United's title hunger, along with Robin van Persie, were the ideal mix to win this season's Premier League.

Valencia believes United's hunger to win the title back from rivals Manchester City could have been enough anyway.

"Destiny is a funny thing," said the Ecuador winger.

"We had so much determination at the start of the season because we wanted to make up for last year and win the title.

"So whilst you can't doubt what Robin has added, we may have done it without him.

"But Robin has great ability, huge skill levels and can almost solve any problem he comes up against. As a winger it is a joy to play and work alongside him."
