Manchester United winger Antonio Valencia has expressed his shock at the announcement that former Birmingham City striker Christian Benitez has died at the age of 27.

The tragic news was confirmed by the player's agent this afternoon, with reports circulating that the Ecuadorian forward suffered complications following appendicitis.

Valencia wrote on Twitter: "Brother why now. God is with you and your family."
