Fergie backs Valencia to power trophy hunt

Friday, October 23, 2009
MOSCOW: Sir Alex Ferguson believes Antonio Valencia is on the verge of proving that he can be a major player in Manchester United's drive for silverware this season.

The Ecuador winger, signed for �17m from Wigan as a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo, has struggled to convince the United faithful that he is up to the task. But after claiming his first United goal in the win over Bolton, Valencia capped a fine performance with a late winner in United's 1-0 Champions League win over CSKA Moscow here on Wednesday, and Ferguson was quick to underline the importance of the display.

"He has been the plus point for the last two weeks," Ferguson said. "He is settling in and his confidence is stronger. He has tremendous assets for a wee player - strength, balance, feet and a good crosser of the ball.

"The area he hadn't shown was goalscoring ability. We said when we signed him this was his challenge to progress as a footballer. Now he has scored two in two games and that will help him."
