Manchester United boss
Sir Alex Ferguson admits he
gaffed by not selecting Antonio Valencia for their defeat at Burnley last
week.
"We see the potential in Antonio, particularly in the training
sessions," said Fergie.
"He has good stuff to work with. He is quick and he is balanced.
He is tough and is a good crosser of the ball. He has areas in
which he has to develop and we have an idea how to go about that.
The lad has a chance.
"Some players have come to the club and taken to it like a duck
to water, some need time. He will be all right."
Fergie, however, admits he may have made a mistake by not
choosing Valencia in his line-up
for the match at Burnley last midweek.
"We maybe should have picked Antonio at Turf Moor," he
added.
"I had the Wigan game in mind
for him. You don't know how they handle Saturday-Wednesday-
Saturday-Wednesday at this club. It is a different kettle of
fish.
"Because he was a new player into that we decided to leave him
out at Burnley."
