Antonio Valencia has thanked Manchester United's fans for their undivided support over the last decade as the outgoing captain prepares to go through a "roller coaster of emotions" when donning the red shirt one last time.

The 33-year-old has enjoyed a memorable period at Old Trafford since joining from Wigan in 2009, winning two Premier League titles, an FA Cup and two League Cups before captaining the side to Europa League glory.

Valencia has gone from flying winger to marauding full-back during his time at a club he is now saying his goodbyes to ahead of his 339th and final appearance for United in Sunday's season finale against Cardiff.

The Ecuador international will leave the club when his contract expires this summer, ending a period of his life that he will always remember fondly.

"It means the world to me – a roller coaster of emotions from sadness to ecstasy," Valencia told Press Association Sport ahead of Sunday's match, when manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is planning a celebratory goodbye.

"Sadness because I have won everything as a player here and will miss these moments.

"I am just concentrated in the Copa America with my nation," Valencia added.

"The success of my nation is extremely important to me and crucial as it brought me to this world and gave me the platform to whom I am today.

"This is the only thing in my mind after tomorrow's final game at Old Trafford.

"After this I will sit down with my family and advisors and give the matter thought as I would like to play for a further two, three years. "
