Manchester United’s new signing Antonio Valencia has revealed that he has known for some time that he would be moving to Old Trafford.
The winger swapped Wigan Athletic for the English champions last month but, according to skysports.com, he admitted to Ecuardorian television that he had spoken to manager Sir Alex Ferguson about a deal as long ago as last December.
“I knew last December I would be going to United,” the 23-year-old reportedly revealed.
“I had a conversation with Alex Ferguson and he told me once the season was over, he wanted to have me in his squad - I felt honoured.
“What he said was as good as having signed a contract - he does what he says.”
Indeed, United had long been linked with a move for the Wigan man and subsequently paid the Latics £16 million to secure his services.
Valencia has signed a four-year deal at the club and will be joined by fellow new signing Michael Owen, who completed his shock move on Friday.
