Man Utd right back bids farewell

Antonio Valencia is already packing leave Manchester United this summer after serving in the club for almost a decade..

The club captain is approaching 10 years at Old Trafford but United have not triggered an option on Valencia’s contract that expired on Friday evening.

It is understood the 33-year-old former Wigan player is resigned to leaving the club this summer, but is keen to extend his career.

Valencia is currently at home in Ecuador recovering from a calf injury.

He has made just nine appearances this season and has featured once – at Newcastle on 2 January – since Solskjaer replaced Jose Mourinho in December.

United do have other options at right-back, including Ashley Young, who signed a one-year contract extension last month, and 19-year-old Diogo Dalot, who joined the club from Porto for £19m in June.
