    Manchester United winger Antonio Valencia
    February 16,2012(AFP)-Manchester United winger Antonio Valencia faces a month on the sidelines after picking up a hamstring injury in Thursday's 2-0 Europa League win against Ajax Amsterdam.
    The Ecuadorian was hurt while helping to create the second goal at the Amsterdam Arena which was scored by Javier Hernandez.
    "He has a hamstring injury unfortunately. It will be four weeks," said Ferguson.
    "It's a blow to lose Valencia, but bit by bit, we are getting stronger with Nani and Ashley Young coming back.
    "Tom Cleverley has played a bit of football tonight and Phil Jones has played a full game which is good for us. Chris Smalling was on the bench but will play in the return match at Old Trafford next Thursday."
