Sir Alex has stated “The operation has been successful and the break was clean, which was the major concern for us at the time,”

When asked when we could expect Valencia back, he said “You can never be 100 per cent accurate in these situations and it is a bad injury, but we are looking at the end of February, which is better than we thought on Tuesday.”

“He is a strong boy, who is very positive about it.”

“Being positive helps you in these situations, so we are very hopeful we will get him back then.”

Valencia was in great form leading up to this injury, and unfortunately I don’t believe he will find this type of form again, but I do wish him the best and I hope all his recovery is a speedy and successful one

United have made a £16 million bid for Latics star Valencia, while Real are also interested, as are a third, unnamed, club.
Whelan said in the Daily Star: “United have got a meeting with us in the next three or four days, Real Madrid have got a meeting with us in the next three or four days, and the other team have asked for a meeting.
“We can’t tell anybody where they’re going to go and play. If Real offered £2m pounds more than United, or vice-versa, it would depend on where the lad wants to go.”
Whelan also insists that he will not be leaking the name of the third team chasing the 23-year-old, but has said that the club is not from England.
“All season Real have followed him big style, Manchester United followed him big style and there is another club who have just come in from Europe, who we were unaware of,” he added.
“I swore I wouldn’t reveal the identity of the other team because they are frightened of Real or United finding out.”
