Our thoughts are with you Tony. Get well soon!
God I hate days like this.
Rather have lost ten-fucking-nil than that. He will be sorely missed. Lovely fellow.
That was one horrible injury. Just hope and wish that he can recover well and fast.
Keeping Aaron Ramsey has been long out that much, so Valencia might be out for that period of time as well.
Wishing Valencia a speedy recovery
Animo Valencia.
Second that emotion…all the very best wishes for a succesful recovery your way Antonio..!
Why is it always seemingly nice guys like Valencia and Eduardo this happens to? Why does it never happen to Craig Bellamy or John Terry?
I felt your pain last night. Good wishes and prayers for your recovery.
Terrible injury, my prayer be with him to recover well physically and mentally! I felt numb in front of telly after seen that!! Remind me of smith’s and that seasons. Not feeling good!
Time for Obertan and Bebe to step up
+1 to manutdthebest. Alan Smith, horror moment all over again.
We are going to have a problem on who plays on the left from now on!
Maybe Fergie will swtich to 4-3-3 with Rooney taking one of the wide positions with Nani and berbs up front
I dont want to see Park or O’Shea ever starting for us again
God bless you tony…get well soon..godspeed!
Hi,
Unfortunately, these things happen when you play sports.
I wish him a speedy recovery and hope he keeps his chin up. The time will fly past and before we know it we will be welcoming him back even stronger.
@Callum – Not wishing bad injuries on anyone, but I know what you mean.
COME ON YOU MIGHTY REDS………….UNITED UNITED UNITED
the place went all quietas soon as that happened last night. even where i was in east lower we knew it was a bad one with the way the rangers player was waving at the bench
Last night, I’ll admit I cried like a wuss after the injury. I love Valencia for everything that he contributes. I wish him the speediest, easiest, least painful, and the overall best recovery. We are all with you Antonio !!!!!!
I’m an Arsenal fan – it’s a horrendous thing for any player to go through, we’ve seen two in recent years and here’s to wishing Nuno makes a speedy and full recovery.
It’s always the nice guys.
Get well soon Tony, hope you come back an even better player, Chin up mate!
Poor Antonio, just when he was going to get a decent run of games this happens.. Best wishes, get well soon…
Get well soon Antonio !! you are a big part of our team ! can’t tell you how truly sorry i am for you .
Absolutely gutted. Get well soon Antonio. Gotta admit I thought the guy was invincible, he’s one hell of an athlete, but ankles are always going to be a weak spot.
There was a time last season where this injury would’ve seemed devastating to the team, but with Nani in the form he’s in you feel we can cope. Big weight on his shoulders now though. Also an opportunity here for Obertan, I’m sure he won’t be happy as such, but he’ll know this is a big chance for him.
Tony V is such a good guy and didn’t deserve this. I’m absolutely gutted by it. All the best to him.
Get well soon Tony.
Shocked.Didnt know that antonio has broken his ankle.Big blow for us and i feel really sorry for tony.I have to say thing arent going in our favour this week.I just hope it ends on a good note by beating them.,Now sir alex must be gutted that why did he loan out cleverley.He would have been useful.
Get well soon tony
Get well Antonio,just when all was falling in place for you,this horrible injury just crept in,i know you will recover and bounce back a better player,more than ever before.Get well brov.
Get well soon tony V. Don’t underestimate how big a blow this is to United, gonna be a big miss this season. Callum don’t lower yourself mate, i wouldn’t wish that injury on anyone.
Get well very soon tonyV.I feel desperately gutted.Terrible,horrendous,very painful to see.It’s not the point that he’s gonna take a long time to come back,but the intensity of that pain.But he’s really strong and fit,so i’m wishing for a whole speedier recovery.Good quiet lad.I can’t get this out of my system right now.
Come on guys let’s don’t wish this on any athlete.Hate is hate.Wishing for injuries is bad.
Sayidd – You never want to see Park start again? Well unfortunately for you he will do. How well did he play in the centre against Milan and the dippers and Arsenal last season?
Without doubt Antonio is what a united player should be. Hope he can recover mentally and physically. I’ll be singing his name on my next visit to o.t just to help him
Keep his chin up.
All the best… hopfully it spur the rest of the lads on to win something for him!!
@king eric
what you are saying is correct…he looks far more effective in the center of the field than out wide during last season
Get better soon Tony…Hope to see you back soon with your quality service again.

He’s out for 6 months.
Tried to post the news, but I couldn’t. Better than I expected to be honest. Get well soon Antonio and your right back berth will be awaiting you when we play out Ch.League quarter final.
I am an Arsenal fan, but allegiances mean little when such an injury happens.
I feel much sympathy for Valencia. This was the only unlucky injury I’ve seen in recent years. He’s such a magnificent footballer, and one of the few opposition players I’d happily give my time. I wish him a speedy recovery, and an very long prosperous and injury-free career
Cheers, wish him the best and hope his career gets back on the tremendous track it was on after he returns. 6 Months is better than I expected and it would be fantastic to see him get a game or two at the end of the season, if only to build his confidence back up.
Much was expected of Nani this year; now, the burden will be even greater. Let’s pray he’s up to it.
I wonder if this is related to the awful pitch at Old Trafford. Rooney almost injured his ankle again because of the pitch. I hope something gets done about this before many players start dropping off injured
Will pray for your speedy recovery, Tony. Godspeed and know that we are thinking of you.
When I saw Broadfoot’s face and reaction yesterday, and those of the crowd, I knew right away it was really bad.. and I couldn’t stop myself from crying.
willierednut @ 13:40: “He’s out for 6 months.”
His return in March will be like a new signing !
Huge blow but Get well soon antonio, has contributed his part to the united course so speedy recovery mate
i wonder if he will ever be the same though, so much of his game is built on speed and turning quickly to avoid defenders. sometimes these injuries take out a mental part to your game.
no matter what though, I hope his rehab is well, and he comes back to us next year!
Get well soon and we will see you in the Champions League.
best wishes Antonio! get well and come back soon!
Gutted for Antonio. Fergie said it was a dislocation and a fracture, really bad. Footage seems to show he was wrong footed by the turf. I think it was the left foot that is broken, which bears all the weight and strain for his very specialized game. Nothing bad from rangers, just close pressure. Folks comparing this to Smith’s injury at Liverpool will probably agree he wasn’t the same after. Alan has repeatedly said he came back to early.
Speedy recovery to our Tony. I hope he can stay loose and confident and come back strong next year.
We are praying for you already! Speedy recovery,
God bless you.
Why, why, why…love you Antonio
Get well soon, Antonio. Hope he gets back stronger, more determined and confident. We Arsenal fans witnessed 3 incidents like this in the past 4 years.
Gooner in peace, saw what happened and wanted to express my shock and sympathy. Valencia always seemed like a nice guy, horrible that this should happen to him, hope he recovers, it’ll take a lot to get over the physical and mental scars.
Have to say fair play to all the Arsenal fans who’ve come here today. Truth be told, they have gone through this more often than us.
@united.george
I am afraid about the same mate. If he will ever get over the mental trauma. And you also have to wonder if he will ever become the same player physically.
si se puede antonio!!! prayers and best wishes are with you always.
One of our most creative players, we will miss him so badly this season, Nani has a lot of work to do and Obertan should get a big chance this season now…
Happened right near me, looked like nothing in the challenge to be fair, just mega unlucky.
get well soon Tony!
we’ll fk miss you tony v now obertan needs to step up we’ll get trough
Absolutely gutted for Tony V, put a real downer on the night despite of whatever outcome from the game there would have been. Thoughts and prayers with both him and his family, speedy recovery and hope to see him in a red shirt again soon.
@sayid
what the fuck are u talkin about, park has bin such a great player for us for a long time one bad game and ur fuckin turning on him great fan u are.
Get well soon Tony all the best. He was one of our best if not the best player of last season (arguably)
Lets go orbertan
He will be given the best treatment from United I’m sure – come roaring back Tony! We will miss your crosses.
all the best of luck during your recovery Tony V.
Time for obertan to step up
gutted! absolutly gutted! i felt like crying..im a grown man!! i seriously think valencia is one of the best wingers in the world today and like to call him the terminator because he looks so strong,tough and mean lol…proper solid and to see him like that was sad!! wish him the best of recoveries and hope we win a trophy just for him! nani will step upto the plate on the right side and the left we have park,giggs,obertan,bebe and, i think that fabio could do it….anyways get well tony!!! you will do just fine!!
Hope he gets well soon. definitely out for the rest of the season especially as he’s having his foot reset. No doubt he will be back playing again but my one of my fears is will he be the same player. Smith’s injury ruined him as a player. I’m genuinely praying the same doesn’t happen to Valencia (I prayed for Smith back then as well!!!). Buggers up our wide options as he was one of the good things that happened last season and I really expected him to push on. This does give Obertan or Bebe the chance to come in and impress but sending Cleverly out for a full season loan without a recall option now seems daft. Just like it did in 06/07 when we sent loads of youth defenders out on loan.
Thanks Scott! Hope Antonio is getting wind of the warm thoughts comin his way.
Classy from the Gunners who are on here today. Never visit their site but hope they have a good home like we have.
that looked horrible, i cant imagine whats going through the young lads mind right now, hope he just focus’s on his rehab and worry about footy later
Got teary when OT erupted in applause, and Tony was taken off. Absolutely gutted. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer lad who oozes skill and class. He is the perfect footballer, and a great asset to the club, we have lost great class on that right flank.
All the best for recovery Tony V. My hearts with you, and can’t wait to see you back in red.
We’ll always be with you mate.
