Nani fears for Man U future
July 5th, 2009 - 4:40 pm ICT by ANI
London, July 5 (ANI): Manchester United winger Nani wants boss Sir Alex Ferguson to give him assurances over his future - but he may not get them.
The Portuguese international, 22, is concerned about speculation he could be surplus to requirements. And he will sit down with Fergie during preseason training to find out exactly where he stands.
A United source said: “Nani believes his chance has come following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, but the rumours just won’t go away and he is looking for answers.”
Nani has struggled to live up to expectations since his 14 million pound move from Sporting Lisbon two seasons ago, News of the World reported.
Spanish clubs Atletico Madrid and Villarreal have both been linked with moves for the player.
Sir Alex still thinks Nani will come good but will not stand in his way if he is unhappy. He could even prove a valuable makeweight as the United boss pursues further attacking options.
The 18 million pounds arrival of winger Antonio Valencia from Wigan will have done little to ease Nani’s fears. (ANI)
