NO NANI SALE

Sporting Lisbon's president Filipe Soares has told The Manchester Evening News that United won't be able to sign their 'wonderkid' Nani:

"Nani is not for sale today - and neither in the winter market. At this moment we are not interested in any business."

Nani himself is happy by the interest from United and wants to move at some point.

"If I leave at any time it would be to go to a superclub. I am young and very ambitious,"

Nani is under contract until 2008 and Lisbon are keen to tie him down for longer as well as putting a £17.5 million price tag on him.
