Sir Alex Ferguson fears that Antonio Valencia’s season could be over after suffering a possible break and dislocation against Rangers on Tuesday night.

The winger suffered the injury midway through the second half after a fair challenge by Rangers defender Kirk Broadfoot. Unfortunately his studs got caught in the turf and the Ecuadorian stayed on the ground in agony. It was immediately obvious to the Rangers players that it was serious, they called for medics and a stretcher straight away.

Valencia was stretched off the field with an oxygen mask and taken straight to hospital. He will now have an operation on his left ankle sometime this morning.

After the 0-0 draw, the Man United manager said: “It looks like a dislocation and a fracture and will keep him out for a long time. He seemed to dig his toe into the turf, and as soon as we saw the Rangers player waving we knew it was a bad one, and it’s turned into a bad one.”

After joining Manchester United in the summer of 2007, Luis Nani hasn't really made an impact like we thought he would. This summer Man United have signed Antonio Valencia from Wigan, now Nani is unsure about his future at Old Trafford.

We have a brand new player to welcome at Old Trafford. After the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez, it is nice to have some good news.

Man United have officially announced that they have signed Antonio Valencia from Wigan Athletic on a four-year contract for an undisclosed fee.

Sir Alex Ferguson said: “Antonio is a player we have admired for some time now, having spent the last two years in the Premier League with Wigan. I am sure his pace and ability will make a significant contribution to the team.”

Antonio Valencia said: “Joining Manchester United is a dream come true for me. I have enjoyed my time at Wigan, but I am thrilled to have the chance to challenge for the biggest honours in club football here.

“Playing in front of 76,000 fans alongside players like Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs will be an amazing experience. I can’t wait to get started.”

It looks like Manchester United's first signing of the summer could well be Antonio Valencia, after reports saying that he has jetted into Manchester for a medical.

Wigan chairman Dave Whelan has revealed that one of their star players Antonio Valencia will choose between Man United or Real Madrid, when he comes back off holiday this Friday.

Wigan are set to meet Manchester United and Real Madrid and an unknown club who want to sign their player Antonio Valencia.

"United have got a meeting with us in the next three or four days, Real Madrid have got a meeting with us in the next three or four days, and the other team have asked for a meeting," Wigan Chariman Dave Whelan was quoted as saying by Sky Sports.

"We can't tell anybody where they're going to go and play.

"If Real offered £2m more than United, or vice-versa, it would depend on where the lad wants to go.

"All season Real have followed him big style, Manchester United followed him big style and there is another club who have just come in from Europe, who we were unaware of," he continued.

"I swore I wouldn't reveal the identity of the other team because they are frightened of Real or United finding out."
Frightened of Manchester United or Real Madrid finding out? That could be interesting. I would love to know who the club is.

It looks like Antonio Valencia has made his mind up, he wants to move to Manchester United.
It is thought that Man United and Real Madrid have both made bids for the player and the player himself would prefer a move to Old Trafford.

A quote in the Daily Mirror says: “Valencia is hoping a compromise is agreed by the weekend while he is playing in the World Cup for his homeland - or he could just let his Wigan deal run down instead."

“Valencia has the alternative option of buying out the last year of his contract next summer, and his camp reveal he would be happy to wait until then if his dream move to United is blocked now.”

It is thought that either Danny Welbeck or Danny Simpson could be used as part of a deal which would see one of them go on loan to Wigan for a season.
I am not quite sure about Valencia, he has had some good performances this season but when he played against us, he didn't really do much.

Sir Alex Ferguson obviously rates him and you have to trust your manager and if he wants Valencia then I am sure he will be welcomed by the fans.

Here is the latest on the in comings and outgoings at Old Trafford.

Antonio Valencia-
Manchester United have bid £17 million for Wigan's Valencia. Man United aren't the only team interested in Valencia, Real Madrid have also made a bid. Sir Alex Ferguson is confident that Man United can beat Real Madrid to the signing of Valencia.

Kyle Naughton-
Man United are set to bid £7 million for Sheffield United defender Kyle Naughton. Fergie watched the player play in Burnley's 1-0 win over Sheffield United in the Championship playoff final and he impressed Fergie.

Fraizer Campbell-Campbell is expected to leave Man United for Hull City. Man United have accepted a bid thought to be in the region of £6million.
Hull did put a statement on their official website-
"Following reports in the media this weekend, the club can confirm that it has had an offer accepted by Manchester United for striker Fraizer Campbell.
"Consequently, the club has been given permission to open talks with Campbell."


Dodo-
17 year old defender Dodo has been quoted as saying that he expects to join Man United in the summer. I first reported that Dodo was linked to Man United on the 13th May 2009, click here to read it.

Dimitar Berbatov-
Berbatov's agent has insisted that Berbatov will be staying at Man United. Berbatov hasn't had the best of starts at Man United, this has led to speculation of him leaving.
Berbatov's agent Emil Dantchev said:
"Despite speculation that he may leave, I want to declare that Dimitar will play next season in Manchester United," Dantchev told Dnevnik.
"There is no desire from the management for any separation.
"He will stay and we hope that he will win what he missed out on this year (the Champions League)."

It looks like Real Madrid and Manchester United are going to go head-to-head over a winger, this time Real Madrid are expected to get the signature of the player. Antonio Valencia's agent has told SkySportsNews that Real Madrid have made a bid for the winger.

23 year old Valencia is currently at Wigan but Wigan boss Steve Bruce is resigned to loosing one of his star players. Sir Alex Ferguson has already said recently that Man United won't be doing that much in the transfer market and we are yet to see whether the club wants him or not

"I believe Wigan will sell Antonio for the right offer and they will decide that once they receive that," Diego Herrera (Valencia's agent) told skysports."Real Madrid made an offer last week, but nobody from Wigan has told me of an offer from Manchester United.
"There are a number of interested clubs and I will speak with Wigan about it this week.
"Once the season is over I expect offers to be made and I will sit down with Antonio and decide what offer is in his best interests."

It depends on what the player wants and whether United want him or not. If it comes down to Man United vs Real Madrid, money wise Real will probably win but if the player wants to win trophies, he is more likely to win them with United.

It looks like Luis Nani's future at Man United could be in doubt, he hasn't had the best of seasons so far but I would be pretty disappointed if he left.

If Sir Alex Ferguson proceeds with a bid for Wigan's Antonio Valencia many are suggesting that Nani's long term future could be in doubt.

Now I know that fans have been disappointed in Nani but he is only young (it's odd saying that when he is older than me) and has a lot more to learn.

He may not always have an end result but I think that they problem with Nani so far has been that when he first came he was likened to Cristiano Ronaldo and many said that he would be the next Ronaldo and thats a lot of pressure to put on someone.

When Ronaldo first came to the club he was frustrating just like Nani is right now but I think that if he cuts some of the showboating out of his game and concentrates on his final balls then I think he can become a great player.

I'm not saying that I wouldn't want Valencia to come to the club because I would and he looks like a great player but it would be a shame if that meant that Nani left.
