Manchester United beat Middlesbrough at Old Trafford which ensures them a place in the next round of the Carling Cup.

Nani played the full game and as a result he was on the ball a lot in the first half and had several shots on goal.

Manchester United were always in control and late in the game, Nani seized on an error at the back before rounding the Middlesborough keeper and putting the ball away.

Nani is looking very sharp.

Manchester United star Nani wants to be known as a world class footballer in his own right and does not like it when he is compared to Ronaldo.

”I do not want to be compared with Cristiano Ronaldo,” said Nani. “We have different functions and our style of play is different.

”My dream is not to be better than Cristiano Ronaldo, but to be considered as one of the major stars of world football.”

”To be the best I will have to work hard, I believe that I can be stronger and if I do that I will get where I want to be.”

Nani has matured both on and off the field and he has shown glimpses of his football brilliance in recent matches.  We are all looking forward to an exciting season.

Sir Alex Ferguson has called for his number 17 to not only step up his game a level this season but to also take a more mature outlook to his game.

Quoted in the Manchester Evening News, Sir Alex Ferguson said: “Nani has gone through the same process all the young players do and you are looking for that jump up in performance level from the first season.”
Speaking about areas of improvement, Ferguson added: “His maturity should be better - which is important. He is still young, but when he develops he will be an outstanding talent. He has courage and speed, can play with both feet and does not melt in big atmospheres.”

“He is a very young 20. That immaturity showed itself against West Ham at the end of the season. That has cost us because he is missing for the first two games.

“But when he develops that he will be an outstanding talent. He has courage and speed, can play with both feet and does not melt in big atmospheres.”

Sir Alex decided to play Nani at Wembley because he is short of fitness and needed the run. Nani demonstarted more consistency in the Community Shield game however we will not see him play again for Manchester United until the Super Cup encounter with Zenit St Petersburg on August 29.

It is expected that he will play his first Premier League game at Liverpool a fortnight later.

Nani made his first pre-season appearance for Manchester United against Espanyol and made an early impression on the game when he chipped the ball over the Espanyol defence which nearly resulted in putting Carlos Tevez in the clear after 14 minutes.

 It has been reported that Nani has bought a house next to his manager, Sir Alex Ferguson. The home is estimated to have cost £3million and is on the same street as his gaffer in Wilmslow, Cheshire.

The five-bedroom mansion, has a swimming pool and spa facilities, is also just two doors away from his Manchester United team-mate Louis Saha, 29.

The three-storey home is also believed to be fitted with security cameras and a remote-controlled gate along with a state-of-the-art soundproof games and media room in the basement. It also has a fully-equipped gym and a walk-in wine cellar as well as a triple garage to house his luxury cars.

Nani feels that his Manchester United and Portugal teammate is looking for a new challenge and may leave Manchester United.

“The loss of Cristiano Ronaldo will be bad news for United. In the Portugal camp, Cristiano advised us that his decision was clear and that now he will try new challenges,” said Nani.

Nani has asked forgiveness for his actions during and after the game where he left before the end of the match.

“I want to publicly ask for forgiveness, firstly of my team-mates, who were forced into a greater effort during more than 60 minutes, secondly of my manager and coaches, and thirdly of the Manchester United fans who have given me so much affection.”

“Believe me, it was very difficult. At that moment I only wanted to disappear. And that was exactly what I did. And I also ask forgiveness of the fans and the club for that.

“As I left then, I didn’t have time to be with my team at the end. But on Tuesday I’ll be in the changing room to redeem myself for my mistake, that is to personally ask forgiveness for the act from my team-mates and manager and coaches.”
