Only Man U or Chelsea can win this season’s Premier League title: Nani
December 23rd, 2010 - 2:26 pm ICT by ANI
London, Dec 23(ANI): Manchester United winger Nani believes that only reigning Premier League champion Chelsea can deny his team the honour of winning the league title for the 19th time.
United are currently unbeaten in this season after 16 matches, and lead the points table by two points.
They have a game in hand on second-placed Arsenal and two in hand on third-placed Manchester City.
“I no longer see anybody winning the Premier League this season outside of Manchester United or Chelsea. Hopefully, it will be United,” the Sun quoted Nani, as saying.
The 24-year-old also believes that he is the man who can help United grab back the title from the Londoners.
“It is easier for me to stand out now that Cristiano Ronaldo has left the club. He is a fantastic player who got all the attention and deservedly so,” Nani said.
“I loved playing alongside him and we got on well together. But it is also true to say that, when he left United, it freed up space for other players to shine.”
“When he left, I saw an opportunity to demonstrate my qualities and to show the people at United what I can do. That is exactly what I have done,” he added. (ANI)
