Manchester United stalwart Antonio Valencia says stars must forget former glories to lift EFL Cup: 'This is another final and a totally different story'

Antonio Valencia may already have a League Cup winner's medal from his time at Manchester United but he insists the squad have to forget former glories if they are to win on Sunday.

The Ecuadorian starred when United last lifted the famous three-handled trophy. Valencia created Wayne Rooney's goal in a man-of-the-match display as the Red Devils triumphed 2-1 over Aston Villa back in 2010.

Times have changed for the 31-year-old, who was a flying winger in his first season under Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford.
