Shoot!’s ultimate Man City-Man United five-a-side team

Antonio Valencia

If you’d had selected a five-a-side team from these two sides this time last year, United’s Antonio Valencia probably wouldn’t be your first choice defender.

Yet the Ecuador international has improved drastically to become one of the best right-backs in the Premier League, and one the most important players in Mourinho’s team.

The 31-year-old moved to Old Trafford back in 2009 as a winger but slowly saw opportunities fade in the North West, and has since become a solid and accomplished full-back who has greatly improved his defensive capabilities.

Every five-a-side team needs pace, energy, and players with the ability to affect things at both ends of the pitch – Valencia thus fits the bill.
