Former Manchester United skipper Antonio Valencia has tipped one of the Premier League's brightest stars for a future move to his old club.
Moises Caicedo has enjoyed a fine season at Brighton so far. The 20-year-old midfielder broke into the Seagulls' first team at the back-end of last term and is now one of the first names on the team sheet.
Two of his best performances for Albion came in wins over United. He flourished in the 4-0 victory at the Amex last May and was equally superb in the 2-1 win at Old Trafford on the opening day of this season.

The youngster was the subject of much interest in the recent transfer window but ended up staying put on the south coast. Now, Valencia has spoken of his fellow Ecuadorian and believes a bright future is on the horizon - even teasing the prospect of a future move to United.
Valencia, who was at United between 2009 and 2019, told Studio Football: "Hopefully Caicedo can go to a big team in England. He is a humble boy; he was born to be great and hopefully he can come to Manchester United."
Brighton would undoubtedly be reluctant to lose another star having raked in more than £100million in sales last summer, following the departures of key men like Marc Cucurella and Yves Bissouma.
