Manchester United winger Antonio Valencia 'angry' at latest injury - Goal.com

Manchester United's Antonio Valencia has vented his anger at the timing of his latest injury.

The Ecuadorian winger limped out of his side's 2-0 win over Ajax on Thursday, pulling his hamstring whilst setting up Javier Hernandez's goal.

Valencia told The Sun, "I am angry because it has happened at such a key moment in the season for United. I have developed and played some good matches and that's the worst consequence of all this.

However, he added that the club doctors had explained the situation and he is confident of a quick recovery. "I was anguished but after tests the medical staff have confirmed a muscle rupture in the hamstring.

"It's important but not grave — I should be back in a month."

Despite this set-back, Valencia is still looking to help his side to success this season. "Now the doctors have calmed me down and I have to recuperate and then help the team in our race to win the Premier League and Europa League."

Valencia has been unlucky with injuries in his United career, having both fractured and dislocated his ankle against Rangers 17 months ago.

"After my last injury experiences I feared the worst."
