#5 Antonio Valencia

The winger-turned right back has been a revelation for Manchester United over the last two seasons. However, he’s truly become of the elite right-backs in 2017.

He has the pace, strength, and IQ to get forward and still be a capable defender.

Valencia has the ability to stretch the pitch, and every once in a while that former winger takes over and he bags a goal.

Many were scratching their heads when Louis Van Gaal lined him on the right side of the defense, but we are all happy he did now.
