Ashley Young says that his Manchester United teammate Antonio Valencia "has it all".

Manchester United winger Ashley Young has expressed his admiration for teammate Antonio Valencia.

The Ecuadorian has been in fantastic form ever since returning from a broken ankle in 2010 and was made the club's double Player of the Year for last season.

Young, who is currently out with a knee injury, believes that his fellow winger has all the attributes of a great player.

"Last season he had everything," said Young.

"He attacks, he defends, he can shoot, he can cross, he can pass, he has it all and that's why he scooped up everything at the end-of-season awards. It's why the players voted for him and it's why the fans voted for him.

"He's fantastic to play with. Antonio, like every other player, knows how to look after himself as well – he knows what to eat, what to drink and he works closely with our fitness coaches."

United host Wigan Athletic on Saturday.
