A star in the making
Summer signing Nani may have netted twice in his first two games
for the club, but Sir Alex Ferguson feels the Portuguese youngster
has more work to do before he hits his best form.
The 20-year-old winger fired a debut goal during United's 6-0 Asia
Tour victory over Shenzhen FC in Macau last week.
He followed that impressive display with another good performance
and goal in the Reds' final pre-season tour match against Guangzhou
Pharmaceutical on Friday in China.
The United boss has been delighted by Nani's contribution to the
team so far, but feels fans will see an even better player come the
start of the new season.
"We're trying to give him football mixed with a training
programme," explained Sir Alex at his post-match press conference
in China. "That will help him get to our level because at the
moment he's nowhere near that.
"The signs have been very promising - he's got great skills and has
made a good start.
"I believe two weeks from now you'll see a different player."
