Valencia signed for the Red Devils and scored 25 goals in 339 appearances over 10 seasons.
During that time he won two Premier League titles, an FA Cup and a Europa League.

The match was part of the Legends Football League, a brand new tournament featuring some of the game’s greats.
He was joined by the likes of Dimitar Berbatov, Mikael Silvestre, Ryan Giggs and Wes Brown as they took on a team that included Rivaldo and Clarence Seedorf.
