Manchester United 3-0 Burnley
Filed Under Premiership
Nani started his first league game today for Manchester United since October.
Nani, came back into the starting eleven after a month out with ankle trouble. He was obviously in need of the run, however he did cause trouble for Burnley’s defense on more than one occasion. He continued to try throughout the 90 minutes and will be all the better for the hit out. Nani showed a glimpse of his skill when he chest trapped a cross and hit an over head kick to the bottom of goal only to see Burnley’s keeper make the save.
Although his timing was lacking on occasion, we are hopeful that he will be given another opportunity to show the supporters what he is capable of against Manchester City on Tuesday in the Carling Cup.
It has obviously been a frustrating few months for Nani, however things are coming to a head and hopefully his future will be decided sooner rather than later.

I’m proud of you Nani! He did very well considering he’s just come back from injury. That overhead kick and that cross to Rooney - which should have been his second goal - were glimpses of the Nani we all know and love. I hope he gets his chance on Tuesday against City. Also, Nani jumping on Rooney’s back when he scored was hilarious - he’s so petite and compact lol
Btw, was it coincidental that Man United either drew or lost the majority of games Nani missed? Cause the one game where he’s back in the starting fold they win 3-0…hmmm
To the comment above ^
That point about Manu being below average without nani is contreversial but I agree Nani has something that park or gigs dont have.
