Valancia has final say
WIGAN chairman Dave Whelan has warned Manchester United that Antonio Valencia will decide his own future.
Whelan revealed he has received “acceptable” bids of between £14 and £18 million from United and Real Madrid, but it is up to the Ecuador winger, who returns to England this weekend.
Sources close to Valencia suggest he will opt for United because of Cristiano Ronaldo’s presence at Real, but
Whelan said:“There are offers on the table acceptable to Wigan, but what we will fi nish up with I don’t know.
“It’s no use me saying he is going to Manchester United – he is the boss. One club could offer £2m more, but if Antonio doesn’t want to go there then there’s no point.”
