Antonio Valencia isn’t known for scoring goals, especially since he started playing at right-back. However, the Ecuadorian does have a couple of long-range belters in his locker. The Manchester United Twitter account decided to relive one such moment.

The goal against Everton was a rocket from Valencia and the layered graphics added an extra dimension to the strike. The 33-year-old has scored 25 goals for United since he joined the club in 2009.
Anytime Valencia scores in recent times, it calls for celebrations due to the rarity. Nevertheless, some of our fans certainly came up with fun reactions to this blast from the past.
One of his best moments in a United shirt! 🔥🔥🔴🔴 pic.twitter.com/GIqBXRxU1w

Any chance you could post this peach of a strike without the ‘boom’ animations? As cool as it is, kind of ruins it for me #mufc
