Nani: I Am Staying With Manchester United

Nani has moved to quash recent reports in the British media suggesting that he will be sold by Manchester United during the close-season.

The versatile winger, who can play on the right or left, has failed to hold down a regular spot in the first XI since joining the Red Devils from Sporting Lisbon for around €20 million (£17m) in 2007.

The 22-year-old made fewer appearances for United in the 2008-09 season (31) than he did in 2007-08 (41), although he did score more goals - six compared to four the previous year.

However, the 19-time capped Portugal international insists he has no plans to leave Old Trafford this summer.



"My future is at Manchester United, of course," Nani told the Portuguese press.

"It is a privilege to be at a club like this.

"I won one more title [last season] and I am very happy to have won it for these two consecutive years.

"I was born to play football and I feel fine, although I did not play much. I will not leave Manchester United, nor will I be loaned out.

"I will see out my contract."
