The South American's second season at Old Trafford came to an abrupt halt in September when he suffered a major ankle injury in United's Champions League opener with Rangers. It took Valencia six months to get fit again but it now appears he has never been away. The winger scored his first goal since August to wrap up Saturday's comfortable Premier League win over Fulham and Ferguson has already identified him as a key man in Tuesday night's eagerly-anticipated Champions League return with Chelsea. "We expected Antonio to come back like this," said Ferguson. "He is an outstanding footballer, who is very capable of being a threat. "His understanding of the game is terrific. He has a great tactical brain. The boy has everything, balance, power and speed. "When we got nearer the time, we couldn't get him back quickly enough. "We arranged closed-doors games to get his tempo and rhythm back. "Nani has had a fantastic season. To have the two of them available is a tremendous boost at this time of year."
