Agree with this. When your 300K a week Wayne and 40M Mata do nothing but play the ball out to him what can he do? We've known for a few seasons he isn't the same attacking player he was but yesterday he was one of the only players who actually looked like they wanted to make things happen.
He was ok. Did well for the goal and generally defended quite well. Stupid formation (and enforced team formation) meant he was usually completely isolated and even less likely than usual to create anything.
Burnley 0:0 Man Utd
Imagine if he had technique and could marry his pace to it. Shame.
Why does he seem to think that twatting the ball as hard as you can is what constitutes a cross?
I'm beginning to despise Valencia. Horrendously shite player
Why is he our most popular outlet? We can't wait to get it out to him so he can ruin the attack. It's maddening.
I'd rather he was anonymous, but he's the complete opposite. Always on the ball. Always doing exactly the same thing with it.

This joker has been hiding under the radar for too long, id rather have a 20% fit Nani
I'm pretty sure I hate him.
Can someone please do a all touches of Valencia in this match? please
Terrible player at the moment.
He is defying every known logic to mankind every time he rams his cross into the defender.
I'm convinced our demise began the day we replaced Cristiano Ronaldo with Antonio Valencia.
Bang on.
If Rafael is fit and doesn't get a game ahead of him LvG is an idiot.
For 18 months he has been the consistently worst player I have ever seen for united. I don't care what went before. Opposition must rejoice when they see him in the team you literally have to stand near him to take him out of the game. Should be sold by Monday
Gets the ball, crosses and hits the first man, or passes it out to a midfielder who gives it to the other winger. He continues to regress.
Why is he still here??
He's a joke of a player. I'd back myself to mark him out of a game.
Ruins almost every attack by just smashing it against the defender or slowing things down, and 90% of our attacks go down his side. Young is better than him FFS.
I groan whenever someone passes him the ball. Shouldn't be anywhere near the team.
I think he only managed to get ball across past the first man once but then he hit the second man. The bit near the end when evans had the ball and was yelling at him to make the run and he just stood there. I don't actually have one positive about his game today.
Gets the ball -> pings it down the byline -> gets to the ball first because of his pace -> tries a first time cross -> hits the defenders leg and it's out for a goal kick
Repeat that infinite times. Summary of every Valencia's game.

He gets so much of the ball and does so little with it. Playing as a wing back just means he doesn't have anyone on the overlap which exaggerates that problem even more.
I think it is absolutely criminal that we got 80 million for Ronaldo, and spent that on Valencia and Obertan (I think I'm missing someone else.) Valencia would have been a decent squad buy; nowhere near good enough to be a regular starter.
He should just feck off. I really, really start to hate him now, he's so useless it's incredible. Destroys every single one of our moves, doesn't contribute anything in defence and collects a fat paycheck. Should be out of the club sooner than Cleverley and Young, it's disgusting.
Got a proper meltdown here, but can't stand this player anyymore.

Hopefully next game if Rafael isn't fit we can stick Young at rwb and have either Blind or Shaw available on the left.
Get him as far away from the club as humanly possible. He should never start another game for us. Ever.
Crossing apparently means just punting it as hard as you can.
Hard to believe this was just two years ago.
Gone from Manchester Uniteds best player to one of the worst players in the entire league.
Absolutely shocking!
Sad part is he looked like our best hope of creating something in the last 15 minutes.
I seriously wouldn't be against splurging £30M on Coleman just so I never have to watch Valencia whack 20 balls off the shins of defenders ever again.
He's one of the main reasons why the 352 needs to go away. He'll consistently play in this formation over someone like Januzaj.
I would swap any Burnley winger for this steaming turd of a player.
The guy must be pure magic on the training field to still get matches constantly.
This is our only wide outlet with Young. A guy who can't do anything other than hit the first man. If he wasn't a big unit he wouldn't play.
I'm sick and tired of him having the whole of the flank in front of him free and instead of running forward to get on a knocked ball down the channel he just stands there. Young does the same thing.

Atleast he wanted the ball and managed to control it without falling over.
Van Persie, Mata and Rooney were horrendous and worse than Valencia.

He doesn't even try anything. He has absolutely no balls. If the ball dropped to him at 0-0 on the edge of the box in a Champions League final in the dying minutes he'd dribble away or knock it back to the keeper. It's never a case of him fancying something or making something happen. He's just doing the bare minimum - defend and try not to give the ball away in attack. He should be fecking ashamed of the number of times he resorts to winning a corner or just aimlessly abusing the defenders shins. Awful.
Defending against Valencia is surely the easiest game a fullback will have this season. Track his run, stand slightly to his right and let him slam the ball at your shin, easy afternoon. It's a joke when Januzaj is on the bench behind Valencia and Young.
True but sadly that the player who was willing to create the most was the one with the crappiest crossing technique in Europe.
As much shit as Young gets, he looks world class compared to this guy. Why he still features in the starting XI is beyond me. He is athletic and fast, yes, but that's about it.
He can't dribble, pass, shoot, cross and now it also seems he has lost the ability to think. ALL he does is run in one direction and either pass it back/sideways or just just hoof it into a defender
