LONDON (Reuters) - Manchester United's Antonio Valencia could be a doubt for their derby clash against City next week as he is away on international duty with Ecuador until the day before the match.

Valencia, on the shortlist for the Premier League's player of the month after an impressive start to the season at right back, will return to Manchester next Friday, United manager Jose Mourinho said.
