Antonio Valencia has claimed that he is back to his best for Manchester United following his disappointing run of form last season.

The Ecuadorian winger struggled to hold down a place in the team during the last campaign as he battled a back injury, but his recent displays have impressed many under new manager David Moyes.

"I suppose I set the bar high in 2012 and then I had a niggling problem with my back which didn't allow me to train properly," Valencia told The Mirror.

"There is no sign of that now. I feel great and have been able to train to my maximum and put in 100%.

"That has been paying dividends in my game and I feel my fortune has changed since going back to the 25 shirt."

Reports last week suggested that Valencia could be offered a new contract by the club.
