Manchester United's Nigerian fans have showered praise on Ecuador international Antonio Valencia.

Through their official Twitter account, Manchester United asked fans across the globe to specifically mention the best qualities of the right wing-back, and Nigerian fans were quick to praise the number 25.

Here are some of the best comments from Nigerian supporters :

@iykefrancis : ''Guy is a work-a-fillix''

@Mr_Somzy : ''He doesn't ever get tired. Running up and down the flank. Incredible team player and hardly on the doctors table. Good role model. Ride on 👏

@ElotOwali "His work ethics and determination for the team as a whole, he makes the right back, wing back, right wing positions his own.''

@Olutrafford : ''His pace and commitment''

@spiffy_tee1 : ''the best wingback in the world, top speed, good defensive instinct. Am always calm once I sight his name on the match day''

@United_boy85 : ''Hardworking and determination''

@Georgio2294 :''One word... Efficiency.... Love u lad''

@Shegsmith5 : ''Fiery commitment, adaptability, cool headed yet tough. A vote for captaincy?''

Last season, Valencia picked up the Players' Player of the Year accolade and finished as runner-up to Ander Herrera for the main award voted for by United fans.

The 31-year-old joined Manchester United from Wigan Athletic in the summer of 2009.
