Antonio Valencia: 'I'm back to my best'

Antonio Valencia has claimed that he is back to his best for Manchester United following his disappointing run of form last season.

The Ecuadorian winger struggled to hold down a place in the team during the last campaign as he battled a back injury, but his recent displays have impressed many under new manager David Moyes.

"I suppose I set the bar high in 2012 and then I had a niggling problem with my back which didn't allow me to train properly," Valencia told The Mirror.

"There is no sign of that now. I feel great and have been able to train to my maximum and put in 100%.

"That has been paying dividends in my game and I feel my fortune has changed since going back to the 25 shirt."

Reports last week suggested that Valencia could be offered a new contract by the club.
