Ferguson hails Nani
Sir Alex Ferguson is delighted with Nani's contribution to the Manchester United team since the winger's arrival.
The 21-year-old has not even made the bench at times during his maiden Barclays Premier League campaign as he operates in the shadow of fellow countryman Cristiano Ronaldo.
However, he was one of the most effective performers in United's encouraging 1-1 Champions League draw with AS Roma at the Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday night and while he is unlikely to start Sunday's blockbuster showdown with Liverpool at Anfield, Ferguson is confident Nani has a big future with the club.

"Nani is settling in very well at our club. When we brought him here, we told him he would not play all the time," said Ferguson.
"We will get injuries as the season goes on.
"But the times he has played, Nani has done well, particularly in the first-half tonight when he was a big threat."
