Spurs want Nani for Berbatov!

Filed Under Man Utd | 3 Comments 

Mancheter United’s interest in Dimitar Berbatov is not a secret, but Tottenham say they are only prepared to discuss a swap deal with Manchester United involving Nani.

Filed Under Premiership | 4 Comments 

Nani scored an amazing 30 yard strike and set another up for Rooney as Manchester Utd win 4-1 against Middlesbrough. This is the 4th game in a row that Utd have scored 4 goals and they look on top form. The Rooney-Tevez partnership is developing very well, with both on the score sheet. Rooney scoring 1 and Tevez getting 2.

Nani now has 2 goals and 3 assists in the premiership. Both the goals have been stunning long range strikes. We look forward to more in the future.
