Man Utd's Nani intent on Portuguese domination
-
Manchester United's new star signing Nani has set his sights on a Portuguese-speaking trio running riot in the Premiership next season.
Last month United swooped for winger Nani and Brazilian playmaker Anderson from Portuguese clubs Sporting Lisbon and Porto in a £30million transfer spree.
Now Nani cannot wait for the prospect of playing with fellow Portuguese international Cristiano Ronaldo as well as Anderson.
He told the UEFA website: 'At least I'll have them to speak Portuguese with and they will be important especially in the initial period of adapting to a different country.
'As for the three of us playing together, it would be great to play alongside them but that's up to the coaches to decide.
'They are two of the best players I know so it's a privilege to have them as club-mates.
'Any player would like to play at Manchester United. They are one of the major clubs in Europe. All I have to do now is to keep working and give my best to prove to be worthy of the confidence shown in me. I know I'm young and I have still to learn many things.' -
like that confirm le, queiroz will be the next manager.

Yea with the influx of so many South American players, Queiroz looks poised be the next manager.

Actually, only one. The second Brazilian ever to play for United. He seems to have a lot more potential so i hope he doesn't end up like the flop Kleberson was. Wonder what's happened to him now?Originally posted by omgukilledkenny:Yea with the influx of so many South American players, Queiroz looks poised be the next manager.

Anderson still yet to receive his work permit
United face a legal battle over their £17million signing Anderson.
The Home Office are set to reject the Brazilian's application for a work permit - putting his big-money move from Porto on hold. Current regulations specify that non-EU players must have played at least 75 per cent of their country's games in the past two years.
Anderson has yet to play a full international but has been named in their squad for this summer's Copa America. United will appeal and are understood to have already started putting together a legal team for the challenge.

I bet they can find a loophole somewhere to let him in. Else, options are that A) he's granted a conditional work permit or B) United buy him then loan him straight back to Porto for another season.

Personally though, i feel that this work permit thing is dumb. But hey, i don't make the rules. -

Yup, and before that Forlan. Thankfully Heinze showed that South Americans can play in United. Forlan was a semi-flop and Kleberson was...well...you know.Originally posted by tarcki:u forgot heinze is from south america too..
It gives Anderson a lot of hope.
