ANTONIO VALENCIA IS ready to be a part of the van Gaal revolution at Manchester United.
The winger, who is currently on World Cup duty with Ecuador, has signed a new three-year contract until the summer of 2017 with the option to extend it for a further year.
Valencia said: “My time at Manchester United has been like a dream come true. To be the first Ecuadorian player to win the English Premier League was a very proud moment for me and for my country.
I am so happy to have signed a new deal and am looking forward to working with Louis van Gaal. There is great team spirit within the club and we are all determined to get back to winning ways.
Valencia, 28, has won two Premier League titles since moving to United from Wigan in 2009.
“I’m really pleased Antonio has signed a new contract,” assistant manager Ryan Giggs said.
“His contribution to the team since he joined the club in 2009 has been fantastic.
“Antonio is a very powerful player with great speed and versatility. He is very professional in his approach to training and I am delighted he has committed his future to the club.”
