Nani scored his second goal for Manchester United in yesterday’s 3-0 win over Guangzhou Pharmaceutical.
Last night’s effort was a brilliant chip to the far post and having heeded Sir Alex Ferguson’s advice to cut out the elaborate back-flip goal celebrations, Nani is clearly a quick learner.
And provided he soaks up a few lessons over the next fortnight, the 19-year-old could be an influential figure in United’s pursuit of glory this term.

Nani scores on united debut
Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
Portuguese winger Nani made a goalscoring debut for new club Manchester United as the Premiership champions continued their impressive pre-season tour by hammering Chinese side Shenzhen.
Nani looked bright throughout, linking up well with Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Ryan Giggs in the United frontline, before being withdrawn along with Ronaldo on the hour mark.
Rooney and Giggs were the prominent United players in the first half, each setting each other up to score as United unlocked the Chinese defence with ease. Rooney cut the ball back for Giggs to tap into an empty net for United’s opener, before the Welshman returned the favour, finding Rooney on the edge of the box for the 21-year-old to execute a superb chip to make it 2-0.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says new signing Nani is a different player to Cristiano Ronaldo.
Nani’s journey to Old Trafford has taken place a year ahead of schedule, with Ferguson forced to move quickly for the Portugal Under-21 star who, like Cristiano Ronaldo, developed a big reputation at Sporting Lisbon.
“We have been monitoring Nani for almost as long as Cristiano,” said Ferguson.
“In a perfect world, he would have stayed in Portugal for another year but circumstances forced us into action.
“He is different to Cristiano in that he can play on both sides of the pitch but also in the middle. He is quick, has a terrific engine and I know we are getting a very talented, flexible player.”

Nani cannot wait for Chelsea match
Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
Utd new-boy Nani has told how he cannot wait for the Community match in August, where he hopes to prove to Chelsea wrong in suggesting that Manchester United paid so much for him.
Now, to make it in the premiership I think a player needs to have three main attributes. A desire to play for his club, the strength to overcome setbacks and most important, a passionate hatred for Chelsea Football Club, and it would seem that Nani already has one of them!
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Nani spoke of how he felt Chelsea`s accusation that Man Utd paid over the odds for the talented winger were wrong, and he expressed his desire to show the London-based team first hand in the upcoming Community Shield match, which takes place on 5th August.
