Nani Stays At Old Trafford

There has been speculation over the 23 year old’s future at the club since making comments about not being able to command a regular place in the first team.

But it seems that the comments have been forgotten by Ferguson and he is keen to keep the player at Old Trafford.

"Some big clubs have been mentioned for Nani, like Milan and Benfica," said Ferguson to the Telegraph.

"But there has been no contact made with us - and we wouldn't entertain selling him anyway.

"He is only 23. If someone came in for Nani in January we would tell him that he is going absolutely nowhere. He's a young boy and he wants to play - and he might get a chance against Spurs in the Carling Cup this week.

"He has suffered because Valencia's form has been excellent and because Obertan has emerged as an interesting player.

"It is no criticism of Nani, but the way things have developed in the last few weeks have gone against him. I have spoken to him and told him that he must take his chance when it comes along."
