United's ex-captain Valencia spotted at Old Trafford having a beer

Former Man United right-back and captain Antonio Valencia was spotted in the stadium during the team's win over Aston Villa.

Valencia enjoyed the game from the stands as fans snapped pictures with him cheering on the Red Devils.

Valencia joined Man United in 2009 and was initially a right-winger. In the post-Alex Ferguson era he was adapted into a right-back role and became club captain in 2018-19.

Although he spent a decade at the club his real peak came in 2011 when Valencia picked up the Matt Busby Player of the Year award as well as the Players' Player of the Year. He even won the goal of the year for his strike against Blackburn that year.

Since then his career wasn't all that it was expected to be but the player remained a great servant to the club before finally leaving after 10 years at Old Trafford which saw him make 339 appearances.

Fans will remember one of his most memorable moments as the former Ecuador international thumped this half-volley into the back of the net a few years ago:

You know you've hit a good one when even Mourinho has this reaction:
