This is a ideal time to be playing City.

I was confident last week of getting something and I'm just as confident this week.

71% of Record readers vote Manchester United’s Nani as the ‘best player in Portugal’

“Is Nani the best player in the Portuguese league?” Yes, according to a poll from Portuguese newspaper Record, where the Manchester United winger gathered a 71% vote in his favor.

On loan at Sporting currently, Nani has 5 goals and 2 assists in the 1022 minutes he has played so far.

Almost 65% of the readers believe that Sporting are firm favorites to clinch the title this season with Nani in red hot form.

Quite a feat to achieve as the Portuguese league consists of amazing players such as Bahrimi, Quaresma, Slimani, Tello, Casemiro, Danilo, Alex Sandro, Gaitan, Jackson Martinez, Aboubakar, Luisao, Enzo Perez etc.

Good to see Nani doing well.

Him playing well means he either comes back in good form or is sold for a higher fee.

How exactly is that not good for United??

Backstreet Moyes

Looks like Rooney is going to be back this weekend and i am very positive.

I know we only picked up two points in the last two games but i think they were our best performances in a long time. I think the team is starting to gel and things are looking good. I really think we can beat an under performing City and start off a good run of form.

Oregano_State

Just got 3/1 with PP on United there. Crazy odds imo, with the form of City and Silva's injury. I'd expect those odds for a match against Real Madrid.

kryogen

Delighted for Nani, he takes an awful lot of undeserved flak. If he leads Sporting to a title it will be quite an achievement, they are unbeaten so far but need to turn the draws into wins more to have a realistic shot. 4 wins and 4 draws from 8 games, only Benfica have scored more goals.

He really has started to show what he can do when he is just played week in week out. More to come from him too hopefully this season but he has been excellent. I notice you don't get too many updates on him like you got in his first game when he missed the penalty and was "terrible". Some only like to put players down I guess and don't like to acknowledge when they are doing well.

Costellos is great messy fun with no rules.

Nancy's is just jammed full, can't move.

Go smyths and icon or if ye want messy and cheapness, go to costellos. Then get a gravy chip in chicken hut.

Brendan Flowers

Great to see Nani doing well. I find it hard to see him coming back to Utd but hopefully the club will now get a good price if he is sold.

And speaking of loaned played, how are the other lads getting on that went out on loan? Anyone been following the progress of Hernandez, Cleverley, Powell, Keane, Zaha? Am I right in thinking Powell hasn't featured at all for Leicester?

Or we sell him for a much better price. I have no idea how someone sees it as anything other than a good thing...

Backstreet Moyes

In fairness if we kept Nani we could have loaned out Janjuaz and it would have been better. A confident Nani is an assist machine hopefully he comes back to his best.

TheDoc

Seeing Januzaj operate on the right and left wing has made me think letting Nani go was a bat **** crazy idea.

If playing with wingers is going to be a thing for us...Nani is sorely missed.

Maybe the spell in Portugal can impress LVG and revamp his levels of performance. Would also provide that pace we seem to be thriving with this year.

Have some confidence ahead of the game this weekend. City on a low and Silva out. Pressure in CL they will most def have an eye on. Suffering that post title winning slump.

Last minute leveller for us breathing some serious confidence with Rooney and Falcao most likely available again.

If Fellaini can perform to that level again in against Toure it will cap a fantastic period for Fellaini. The sarcastic jeers he was getting earlier in the season turned to genuine roars of support as he went through a blistering first half against Chelsea.

Hopefully its not one step forward two steps back. Surely we have to build on from recent good form...and brining our attacking lineup against a surprisingly slack City defence.

Am not ruling us out one iota. Bookies are being ridiculous with their odds.

Having Nani limited to the amount of gametime Januzaj is likely to see would do nobody any good though, wouldn't see the best of him. Jan should also be loaned though imo

Buying a Sky subscription and using Sky go is not illegal, it is actively promoted by Sky and the name does sort of give that away.

Anywho....super excited for Sunday...we're gunna do it lads. 3 points. Falcao to blitz them.

I suspect Nani has found his level tbh.

League could be as good as over if we do somehow manage to beat or even draw with City on Sunday. Chelsea would, more than likely, have a 9 point lead.

We lost an 8 point lead in April a couple of years ago. Reckon somebody might he able to give Chelsea a run for their money from November.

Ha ha ha, that made my morning! Quite a feat indeed giving the top quality opposition! He has 2 goals and no assists in 7 league games. He should have at least double those figures given the quality of the league. He has scored well in Europe though but Maribor are cat anyway.

The reason you don't get updates is because people who think he isn't good enough for united don't want to start another bloody Nani argument that goes no where. Same reason most people didn't mention the back heal to the ref or him trying to drag an injured player off the pitch.

I want him to do well, but away from United as I've had enough of him and the undeserved praise he gets.

Theres more to a game than assist and goal stats.
Back before everyone used to masturbate furiously over Opta's twitter account people used to look at more than just Goals and Assists. General play used to have more clout.

He's done well in highlight reels, seen his three nutmegs in a row clip... fairly sure it didn't amount to anything after that though

I'm only a week back from a two week holiday in Eastern Europe. I hit six different countries and got to see all the football I wanted whilst over there. Ireland V Germany, Utd v West Brom, Pool v Madrid.

If you can get a flight out Saturday instead of the Sunday you should have no problem. Or late Sunday means you watch it here

Good to see Nani doing well.

It might be a strange comparison, but Nani reminds me a lot of Diego Forlan.

Nani was vital a few seasons ago when he was playing every game for us, and clocked up impressive assist stats. The only time Forlan played 8 games in a row for us, he scored 6. Obviously he has proven his quality in La Liga and on the international stage since then, and scored a ridiculous amount of goals. United was the only club he didn't really hit his peak performance at.

There's no middle ground with some players. Some players need to be 100% trusted by the club & fans and play every game, they produce their best. It's feast or famine. If Nani went to any club where he will be one of the first names on the team sheet, he would have a very productive season in any league.

That's true but I think it applies more to other positions on the pitch. Goal and assist stats wouldn't show the true value of players like Silva and Scholes. For an attacking winger whose main job is to set up and score goals, is does give a good view of what they are contributing I think.

Not aimed at you but I have criticised his general play before and got goal and assist stats thrown back at me!

This is the exact opposite of how the usual pro-Nani argument used to go.

The arguments go nowhere because people have selective memories and forget the impact he had in United winning titles with a goal or assist in the majority of games he played and label him inconsistent of all things.

My memory of the prevailing pro-Nani argument was that he needs to be played consistently to perform consistently, rather than that any deficiencies in his play are overshadowed by his goal and assist rates.

You would need a good memory, not a selective one, at this stage given that it has been so long since he had the great seasons.
