Valencia has been very good since he moved to RB and has gone up another level this season.
An absolute warrior of a man.
Great to see he has received some mainstream praise this season as it is long overdue.
Best thing is I think he can continue at this level for years yet, I haven't noticed him loosing any pace with age or after his leg break.
If he looses 10% of his pace he will still be one of the quickest FB's around.

He still can't speak English very well 
Valencia bravo!
It is so strange hearing him talk with his on field personality, and that voice doesn't match his body btw.
Ruins my theory that he's really a T-800.
He is a decent RB and has been good this season. But I still think we should sign one in the summer.
Fabinho would be tasty.

I know that. He's still a natural RB though. Him playing CDM is a bonus cause we might need someone there after Carrick.

Quite a pass for Jese there for the goal
What a ball,but did you see his cross with his left? What's going on. And he got skinned, something is off.
2 years ago, I was hoping that he left.
Right now, he is so crucial to our side. One thing that strikes out is how his presence means our RW basically gets a free role, ie Jesse's average position would be slightly right of the centre than on the right, where he should be. Similar goes for when we played with Mata

Good to have him back!
It was obvious Mourinho would like him.
He tried to get him when he was managing Real.

I'm going to keep quoting this because it's not all that often that I'm this on point.
He didnt get up and down as much as previous games, but he didnt have to. Dude is a beast especially given the freak injury he had 5 years or so ago. To be playing at this level is madness.
The only footballer who becomes faster after a potentially career-ending leg injury.
Smug, but rightfully so.
He was 8 and 9 out of 10 before the injury, he's been 6 or 7 out 10 since he came back, playing well, just want to see him steaming on the overlap a bit more often, he's turning back a bit too much right now.
That pass for Lingard was something else, another great performance from Arnold Valencia.
Just so much more about him than anyone else we can play there. Up and down all game.
He covers the entire right side on his own, which in turn frees up whoever's playing in front of him.
Imagine if we had someone his level for the left FB position as well, would add such a dimension to our play. Hopefully Shaw can get there.
just got outdribbled once today but it can happen to anyone, we cant expect any rb/lb in the world to be flaultess and win 100% challenges ... he added a top class second assist for lingard wonderfull assist to zlatan first goal... was beautiful vintage counterattacking United, glad that Zlatan got at the end of that cross
would love Jose to give this lad a chance, I havent been folowing this years so closely academy games but from what I ve seen hes been great over some time and is rightly training with the first team, also can cover both sides of the pitch
I only gave him a six. He was skinned quite easily, only once. He stopped a counter because he didn't try to just outrun the defender, which he would have. Then he fecked up Zlatan's run by being incapable or unwilling to use his left foot. On the other hand, he had three very good crosses that created chances and he had that wonderful pass for Lingard. As usual, his first touch was sublime and he kept us in possession in very tight and difficult situation.
Wingers must dread him, as hes such a beastly unit, I`d hate to come shoulder to shoulder with him, when you get past him, he`ll outrun you and win the ball back. Even last year I couldnt understand the hate, I thought he was class as a RB last year as well
Agreed with that assessment. His poorest game in months imo, which says alot about how good he has been this season. Apart from that great long pass, he was limited going forwards and not on the ball defensively today,
One of fergies best buys I'd say. Purely for what he has given this club over the years. Up there with vidic and evra
Done well in the build up to the goal but thought he was a bit off the boil today. Didn't seem his usual self going forward but then again based on the way they play I can see why he may of been more hesitant to get forward.
After 10 yrs in England
Still better than Wayne who's been here 31 years.
Watching Arsenal and Bellerin, I can't help not understand those who say that currently Bellerin is better than Valencia. For someone so fast, Bellerin seems to struggle with fast players. Even Depay was able to accelerate past him a few times. To me, it seems like Bellerin awards attackers with an extra yards because he expects himself to catch up with them. Valencia hardly ever struggle in the same regard. Also, I think Valencia is a much better passer of the ball and better at bringing the ball up the pitch.
Obviously, Bellerin has all the potential and age on his side, but currently, I think we have the better right back.

Two reasons.
1.Lingering hate from his stint as a winger
2.He replaced Rafael who was a darling on here.
Pretty much spot on, but last season he did struggle a little with positioning. This season, he has been much more disciplined, and when he has let himself loose in attack, he has been a monster down that right flank. There isn't a better right back this season in the PL.
People always get stuck in their opinions, it takes some a long time to reverse them. I also suspect some from other countries who post here aren't watching our games because it boggles my mind how some still say he isn't good enough, despite the fact he should be in line for our POTY right now.
