Toño Valencia was managed for 4 seasons (from 2009-2010 to 2012-2013) by Ferguson at United.
Sir Álex Ferguson, a living legend of world football, turned 80 years old yesterday, Friday, and the Ecuadorian Antonio Valencia, his ex-boyfriend at Manchester United, took the moment to send a message on his own account. Twitter.
‘Happy birthday boss, for you I gave everything on the pitch (with Manchester United)’, published the Amazon Express, 36, who retired from professional activity this season due to severe joint wear in his right knee.
In 2009, after showing an extraordinary level at Wigan Athletic, Ferguson decided to sign Valencia for the Red Devils. English media at the time indicated that £ 16 million ($ 26.4 million) was paid for the sports rights to the tricolor.
Valencia played for United for 10 seasons; of these, four under the command of Fergurson (from 2009-2010 to 2012-2013). In that time he lifted 6 titles (2 Premier League, 3 Community Shield and a League Cup).
He also became the first Ecuadorian to play in a Champions League final. It was in 2011 when he faced FC Barcelona of Lionel Messi and DT Pep Guardiola, falling 3-1 at Wembley Stadium. (D)
