Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal says Antonio Valencia's command of English isn't good enough.
The Mail on Sunday says Valencia has been ordered by Van Gaal to take English lessons - despite having lived here for eight years.
Van Gaal is determined his current squad, which includes a number of native Spanish-speakers, should all become fluent in English to help communication on the training ground and the pitch.
Newcomers Angel Di Maria, Marcos Rojo, Radamel Falcao and Ander Herrera have all had twice-weekly lessons arranged for them alongside goalkeeper David de Gea, who is in his fourth season at the club, and Valencia, who first arrived in the Premier League to play for Wigan Athletic in 2006 before signing for United three seasons later.
