Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has claimed that Antonio Valencia could be his side's key player in the Premier League title race.
The winger, who recently returned from a hamstring injury, was a devastating presence on the flanks for the Red Devils during Sunday's 5-0 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
"He could be very important," said Ferguson. "His form before he got the injury was outstanding. Now he is back we hope he stays back fit. He is such an honest, hard-working player.
"You get two sides to Antonio. He is prepared to work really hard. He can tackle, he can run, but he can also beat a man. He has got everything really."
United, who are now four points clear at the top of the table, will be hoping that Chelsea can beat title rivals Manchester City when the two sides meet at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday.
