Citing the example of Smith, Ferguson said: "You're talking about [Valencia missing] the rest of the season. It was a really innocuous challenge and you wouldn't have expected anything but as soon as we saw their player waving, we knew it was a bad one.
The injury came on a frustrating night for United in which Ferguson, having used his programme notes to promise he would not "underestimate Rangers" and point out that "their history demands respect", made 10 changes from the side that drew against Everton on Saturday. A line-up in which four defenders started their first match of the season was put together with Sunday's game, at home to Liverpool, in mind.
But Ferguson was defensive when it was suggested he may have left out some of his better players. We have a terrific squad and we should have won that game but you have to give Rangers credit because their system of play was very hard to break down. He was making his fourth appearance of the season and has just one goal to his name, which came in the community shield win over Chelsea.
The match last night saw the return of striker Wayne Rooney, who missed the weekend draw away to Everton after being dropped by the Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson. The United talisman had, arguably, the worst 10 days of his career after it was revealed in a tabloid newspapers that he had cheated on his then pregnant wife with a prostitute. However, the evening, and Rooney's off the field difficulties, was overshadowed by the sickening injury to Antonio Valencia; a stark reminder that a footballer's career is a fragile one indeed.
Sir Alex Ferguson made 10 changes to the side that threw away a two-goal advantage at Goodison Park. United welcomed back Rio Ferdinand from injury, while some reserve players such as Javier Hernandez, Darron Gibson, Chris Smalling and Fabio all got a chance to impress. The strange thing about Valencia's injury was how innocuous it looked.
Contact from the Rangers defender Kirk Broadfoot seemed minimal, but players close to the incident quickly realised the severity of the injury and started signalling towards the bench. Steven Naismith and Kirk Broadfoot continued to wave frantically towards the bench as Valencia laid on the floor writhing in agony. As Valencia waited for treatment, United players came to check up on him and comfort him.
Some players i. Rio Ferdinand and Darren Gibson stuck around briefly and walked away, while a select few; particularly Wayne Rooney, Wes Brown and Javier Hernandez stayed with the injured winger through out.
