The team is showing impressive form, leading the league table with a perfect record of 7 wins and a goal difference of +54.

For Valencia personally, the Ecuadorian defender retired in 2021. However, he surprised many by deciding to play for Wythenshawe Amateurs. Information about Valencia playing in the amateur league surfaced in January, but it has only now officially become a reality.

During his time at Manchester United from 2009 to 2019, Valencia won numerous major titles, including two Premier League titles, two League Cups, three Community Shields, one FA Cup, and one Europa League.

According to talkSPORT , Wythenshawe Amateurs' squad this season also includes several former Premier League players such as Stephen Ireland, Danny Drinkwater, Papiss Cisse, Emile Heskey, Joleon Lescott, and Oumar Niasse.

In March, Wythenshawe Amateurs also won a double of titles, including the Lancashire Veterans Cup and the Manchester Veterans Cup, thus solidifying their position in the league for former players. The addition of Valencia promises to strengthen the team and attract more attention from fans.
