Queiroz lauds new duo
Carlos Queiroz has described new signings Nani and Anderson as artists of the game and is backing them to follow in Cristiano Ronaldo's footsteps and achieve big things at Old Trafford.
The Portuguese coach played an important role in bringing the duo to the club thanks to his connections in his homeland where the pair have plyed their trade for the past few years. Queiroz is excited by their arrival and is confident their unique qualities will ensure they become big stars at United.
"I have known about Nani and Anderson for a long time," Queiroz told ManUtd.com. "They are special players with great gifts and talent.
"We believe they are two of the most qualified players of their generation in terms of being a footballer. They are skilful players. Their technique is excellent. They have great pace.
"Nani has truly outstanding speed, while Anderson has power and a fantastic left foot. Both are the kind of players that before they become players are really artists in the game.
"They are the type of players we should bring to United. Just like Ronaldo. He's more of an artist than a player. We believe Nani and Anderson are the same type of player."
