Sir Alex on Nani
"Even Ronaldo took a few years to get maturity in his game. That's what we’re seeing with Nani now. His goal tally is fine, his assists count is high, he's progressing very well... he'll be sub against Benfica!"

Nani believes the contest for supremacy in Champions League Group C at Old Trafford tonight will be won and lost in midfield.
The Portuguese winger feels the department staffed by the likes of his countryman David Simao, Javi Garcia from neighbouring Spain and Argentina international Pablo Aimar is the strongest unit in the Benfica side.
“I think their strongest point is their midfield. If we are able to control the midfield, then I am sure we have a good chance to have a positive result,” said Nani at the pre-match press conference.
“I’m sure Benfica will play some good football but with a lot of care as well because they know they are playing away at our ground. We will do our best to get the positive result that we aim for.”
Nani admits that tonight’s match has special significance for him, as alumni of Sporting Lisbon – Benfica’s local rivals.
“When I played against Benfica for Sporting Lisbon, the games were like United against Manchester City. They were always tough games. My record is okay - I lost one game, won one game, drew another. Of course I used to enjoy it when we beat Benfica. I hope I can win again this time.”
