Antonio Valencia: I feel like I'm 21

Antonio Valencia insists he still feels 21 as he continues to press his claims for Manchester United's Player of the Year award.

The outstanding right-back won the Sir Matt Busby trophy in 2012 and has already bagged two Player of the Month prizes this term. Excellent against Chelsea in the Emirates FA Cup on Monday night and in Thursday's win over FC Rostov, the 31-year-old Ecuador international remains a top performer, more than a decade after arriving in England to join Wigan Athletic.

"I’ve changed in a lot of ways [since then] but with my willingness to keep on training hard, my hunger to keep on improving and my desire to want to remain here at United, I feel like I’m still just 21 years old," said Valencia in an exclusive interview for Inside United.
