August 4th, 2009 | by: Carlos | Comments(1)

As you all know Luis Antonio Valencia signed for one of the biggest clubs in the world, Manchester United. He signed a four-year contract for an undisclosed fee, rumored to be in the region of £16 million. However to the suprise of the Ecuadorian press, he didn’t get the number 7 shirt which legendary players like Cantona, Beckham and more recently Cristiano Ronaldo sported while playing in Old Trafford, his new teammate Michael Owen got the 7 shirt while Valencia got the number 25.
Valencia had a amazing debut were he scored the goal that in the end gave the Red Devils the victory against Boca Juniors in the Audi Cup. Hopefully he will continue contributing to Manchester United and make a big impact in the club once the Premier League starts.
