He has today said he is enjoying his great form and knows the battle we have ahead to bring our trophy home.

“I am under orders to be the leader of this team and I’ve accepted the challenge,” Nani said. “I’m enjoying the best time of my sporting career. I’m scoring goals, creating chances and I’m in my best form since I arrived at United in 2007. So far I’ve been able to help my team a lot – but it’s what I do from now until the end of the season that really counts. It will not be easy to finish top. But we are well in the race.”
