Antonio Valencia looks set to end his long association with Manchester United this summer following 10-years with the club.

The 32-year-old signed for the Red Devis from Wigan and has played over 300 games for the giants of English football.

Valencia will look to continue his career, however, and the player’s agent and father has confirmed interest from West Ham United, according to El Universo.

The right-back would represent a sound signing for the Hammers.

Pablo Zabaleta is 34-years-old and sees his contract expire at the London Stadium this summer.

The other right-back at the club is Ryan Fredericks who is still raw when it comes to playing Premier League football.

It could be the former Fulham man who reaps the most reward from the chance to play alongside Valencia.

Of course, it seems unlikely that they will play together in the same team but the influence Valencia could have on Fredericks on the training ground could be massive.

The 26-year-old is cut from the same cloth as the Ecuadorian when it comes to playing right-back and he could bring his game on no end.

There is clear potential in Fredericks and with a bit of guidance from Valencia, he could become a star attraction at West Ham.
