Antonio Valencia has become the first signing of the season for Sir Alex Ferguson as he seeks to revamp a team devoid of Cristiano Ronaldo's talents. Personally, I greet this with a sense of hope because it probably means United will revert from being player centric to playing more as a team. As glorious as the past 3 seasons have been, it is difficult to see United surpassing the exploits of the previous season without change in personnel.
Valencia will see the return of the traditional winger that have characterized the United teams of old. His speed and strength minus the fanfare will be welcomed by intelligent forwards like Rooney and Berbatov. Throw in the possibility of Benzema being added to the firepower and my pulse accelerates...
I do hope we sign Benzema soon as it would be great to welcome this talented Frenchman to our shores come 18 July!
