Villarreal winger Jefferson Montero wants to join Valencia at Man Utd

Villarreal winger Jefferson Montero would love to play for Manchester United.

The Ecuadorian talent, 20, is very highly regarded having shone all season for the Spanish club's 'B' team.

Montero is determined to play in the same side at club level with United's Antonio Valencia, who enjoyed his first campaign at Old Trafford after arriving from Wigan.

"I hope to play in the same team with him," revealed Montero. "Me on one side and him on the other.

"It would be amazing. It is what most people ask me - they want Antonio on the right and me on the left for United. Antonio deserves everything he gets as he's done very well.

"He started from not very much - like me. I would love to follow in his footsteps and play for Manchester United, if that opportunity arises.

"Who knows what will happen in the future? For the moment, I am at Villarreal and have great respect for the team."
