'He was born to be great': Ex-Man United star Antonio Valencia urges Erik ten Hag to sign 'humble' Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo after the Red Devils expressed their interest during the summer window

Antonio Valencia has urged Manchester United to sign Brighton star Moises Caicedo, after the Red Devils expressed interest in the midfielder this summer.

The ex-United captain has backed his Ecuadorian compatriot to continue taking the Premier League by storm, having impressed since joining Brighton in February 2021.

Although Caicedo was initially eased in by former Seagulls manager Graham Potter, he quickly became an integral part of the south coast side and has since attracted plenty of interest in the transfer market.
