Antonio Valencia renews his contract (2019+1)
- Thread starter VanGaalEra
- Start date
He did (to 2018) but he's renewing again (to 2019 or 2020).
Imagine if he had kept the #7
How many RB's have had that before?

Nice.
Fully deserved. Had a superb season and has become far better as Right Back than I ever thought he could.
Developed into a top defender. Gives his all every game. Wouldn't be surprised if he plays til he's 40 with that physique but needs to work on his crossing, its Shocking!
Compared to who?
He's a vital player covering the right side defensively & attackingly and his end product is underestimated
I've no time for Tony haters tbh
Was saying in another thread I reckon he'll be the last of the Fergie players to leave. Unless he wants to play in his home country before he retires, can see him staying for a good few years eventually in a back-up role.
Great news. Sometimes you feel that he is not even 30 yet.
A few years ago I thought he was dead weight and needed to be moved.
I'm so glad I was wrong.

Very good work done there. Tony seems to do a good job taking care of himself, so let's hope his fitness continues. Also glad to know that this will basically guarantee him a testimonial when the time comes (iirc).
He's Zlatan MKII in terms of fitness.
Good for Valencia. Wanted him first player gone when he was a turn back Tony as a winger, but if anyone deserves a pay raise than he is it. I still have to wonder why the rush though, he still had a couple of years of his contract to run. At his age, even with his strength, things can take it's toll running up and down the pitch every season. Evra was fit as anyone, but towards the end of his time at United he was struggling. We could have waited a little bit longer to see how he copes.
Great news, he's been fantastic.
Thank you LvG.
Well deserved to one of the most underrated and likeable players in our whole squad!
Well deserved.
Not true

His contract ran out this Summer, although we had option to extend for another year.
Great news, couldn't be happier for him. Also not sure if this is still the case but I remember reading a few years ago that Valencia had no manager and was negotiating his own contracts ( whether that is still the case or not), I beleive this demonstrates his mentality and why he seems to be very popular with both players & management even he can only communicate with the Latin ones.
Great news. He will go down as a legend here.
Another van Gaal masterstroke converting him into a right back! Go on Louis
Been my favourite current United player since his debut season for us. Incredibly down to earth, and a true professional.
Top 3 RBs in the world right now.

Jose has a lot to be thankful for. Once again LVG proving when he was a great appointment. Countless foundations he has built for clubs and this another shining example of his ability to spot a players true role and put a club on the right track with a steady foundation to build on. Thank you LVG
Lol about as steady as sponge pudding Tara
Really? A good and loyal servant no doubt, but to class him as a legend is massive stretch.
I do have a lot of time for Valencia, he looks after his body, puts himself out for the team and never complains. A model professional if ever there was one. This new contract is well deserved and proves that if you're willing to put the effort in - unlike certain other's who need no mention - you will be rewarded with a new contract under Jose.
Hoping Herrera and Blind get the same treatment before long.
Great news. Love the guy. Model professional.
Has won every trophy bar the Champions League. He will definitely go down as a Legend in a few years time. Evra is a Legend, for example.
He's not a legend, and very unlikely to get into such a bracket. Have you forgotten the years when all we got was Valencia running up the wing and either smashing the shins of the full back or turning 180 degrees and going backeards. He's done well to adapt to a new role, and has had an excellent season - but he's no Evra, Irwin or Neville for example.
That remains to be seen. This is only really his first full season as a RB.
If he was to stay here for another 3 years and we won the CL and other trophies, he will go down in the same bracket as those guys.
There's more to it than simply winning medals, at least for me personally. Charlton, Best, Law, Robson, Keane, Scholes, Giggs and ... Valencia? I think not mate. You are of course welcome to your opinion.
