Antonio Valencia gets tribute tattoo for Christian Benitez

Manchester United winger Antonio Valencia has paid tribute to the late Christian Benitez by getting a tattoo honouring the former Birmingham City striker.

Valencia, who played alongside Benitez in the Ecuador national team, got the tattoo after the forward passed away at the age of 27 following a cardiac arrest last month.

Valencia showed off the tattoo, which displays Benitez's nickname Chucho, his number 11 shirt number and three stars, on his shoulder after scoring during Rio Ferdinand's testimonial defeat.

Valencia also posted an image of the tattoo on his Twitter page.
