EXCLUSIVE: Wigan winger Valencia WILL sign for Manchester United in the summer
Antonio Valencia will sign for Manchester United during the summer transfer window.
Sportsmail understands that Wigan are resigned to losing their Ecuador winger to the champions for a fee in excess of £5million.
The same agent who engineered Wilson Palacios's £12m move from the JJB Stadium to Tottenham in January will act as intermediary in the Valencia deal.
Sir Alex Ferguson has been monitoring the progress of the 23-year-old wide player for some time, having expressed an interest in the former Villarreal star last summer, according to the player's agent Diego Herrera.
Last summer, when United allegedly came knocking, Latics boss Steve Bruce admitted the lustre of the Red Devils would be too much to resist for any of his young players.
Bruce said: 'Come on, we have to be sensible about this. If Man United come knocking at the door, how the hell can you refuse them?
'I'm aware you can't deny somebody like a Manchester United or a Liverpool or a Tottenham.
'This club never wanted to sell (Pascal) Chimbonda, but players want to go and you can understand that, so we have to be realistic as well.'

Nothing to feel sorry about lah... They get the money, the club also can survive better and reinvest in new players... I will really feel more sorry if that small club got no players to sell... Like that they will only go down without $$$ to invest in new potential players or pay existing players... -
Not a bad buy, still young but has some EPL exp already. Leave Tosic in the reserves for the moment, let him find his space for awhile.

fuck.. not again.. ccb.....

i mean who can resist playing for a big club?
But 5 million is low a fee la. i hope wigan can held out for at least 10million ( closer to palacious deal).
wigan get more money, man utd get their player, player get more salary. I hope this is a win win situation for all party.
