Manchester United winger Nani has vowed to stay and
fight for his place in the team despite his frustration at being
substituted during Saturday's victory over Tottenham. The
Portuguese was taken off at half-time with United trailing 2-0 and
watched his team-mates stage a stirring comeback for a 5-2 win at
Old Trafford.
Nani, who has been substituted on each of the six times he has
started a Premier League game for United this season, said: "I was
not satisfied about my role against Tottenham but I accept the
orders of the coach by the substitution at half-time.
"The team changed in many ways during the second half but I
wasn't responsible for the first 45 minutes. I finished the match
unhappy though I am still waiting to demonstrate what I can do.
"I have signed a deal with this club and my dream is to obtain a
permanent place in the 11."
And United manager Ferguson has insisted Nani can prove himself
next season.
Ferguson said: "He has been unlucky this season. The form of
Park Ji-Sung has been absolutely outstanding and most of the time
has kept Nani out of the team.
"Getting a consistent run has really been the problem for him
and then he got a little injury.
"But he will be here next season and he will do very well next
season for us."
