Nani: I can be the best


Manchester United star Nani rekcons he can become the best player in the world.

The Reds' in-form winger is expecting to shrug off a groin injury in time to be fit for Wednesday’s mouth-watering Eastlands derby showdown and reckons he is begninning to fulfil his potential.

Nani had a less than impressive start to his Old Trafford career after his £18m move from Sporting Lisbon in 2007 as he struggled to emerge from the shadows of countryman Ronaldo.

But he has been one of the Reds’ key players this season and now feels he is ready to join the global elite and one-day emulate the Real Madrid winger.


Gymnastic fantastic: Nani celebrates opening the scoring with a flying somersault


“I want everyone in the future to be saying that Nani is one of the best players in the world. That is my ambition,” said the 23-year-old, who limped off during United’s 3-0 win over Bursaspor on Tuesday night.

“Maybe some people are saying it now I don’t know. If they are then I am very happy.

“Since I came to Manchester I always said I believed in my qualities but I said I had a lot of work to do.

“I started to work hard and I got opportunities. I am more mature now and more experienced in the team, I am doing well at the moment.

“I always knew I could be an important member of the team.”
