Antonio Valencia has signed a new three year contract with Manchester United. The deal sees the winger, who singed from Wigan in 2009, agree to stay on until 2017, with the option of extending his time at the club one year further.
Valencia last night captained Ecuador to a 2-1 win over Honduras at the World Cup.
Valencia said: "My time at Manchester United has been like a dream come true. To be the first Ecuadorian player to win the English Premier League was a very proud moment for me and for my country.
"I am so happy to have signed a new deal and am looking forward to working with Louis van Gaal. There is great team spirit within the club and we are all determined to get back to winning ways."
Assistant manager Ryan Giggs said: "I'm really pleased Antonio has signed a new contract. His contribution to the team since he joined the club in 2009 has been fantastic.
"Antonio is a very powerful player with great speed and versatility. He is very professional in his approach to training and I am delighted he has committed his future to the club."
