    Nani

    Does anyone else think he's a waste of space?
    I always thought he was a bad player but his performance against Portsmouth was an absolute disgrace. The amount of ball he lost and wasted was unforgivable. Everytime he got the ball I was putting my head in my hands and cringing.
    He proved he wasn't a Man Utd player tonight. Maybe FC United but certainly not Man Utd.
    If Ronaldo is the Carlsberg of footballers then Nani is tap water.

    I'd give him til around this time next season before thinking about his future, but he hasn't looked up to it at United to be honest. Comparing him with Anderson this season (I had heard Nani was a better player coming over too) shows how far off the pace he is

    it wasn't too long ago when people didn't rate ronaldo but look at how much he's improved over the last 3 seasons,i'll give him another 1 1/2 to 2 seasons before i pass judgement.he's only 19(i think) and has made a big move for such a young lad.

    Like most young wingers he is frustrating the same way Mc Geady and Ronaldo were and McGeady is at times. I would give him a bit more time but he has the natural ability to be a very good player but as usual with wingers, makes bad decisions and risky passes.

    I'd have thought the asian lad was a better target for derision. Granted, I only watched a brief period of the game but he didn't seem to be in the right place at all.

    Gavin's right - Park was muck last night and should be shipped off to Liverpool/Everton/Spurs. Nani will come good.

    You have to give him another season at least. As mentioned, Ronaldo didn't exactly set the place on fire in his first season either.

    Highlights can be so misleading.On MOTD last night Park looked a superstar and it also showed Nanis fantastic shot at the end.You went away with a positive impression of both players.It occured to me last that Ronaldos success in someways can be Rooneys loss as he takes the free kicks in front of goal and the penalties.Result being Rooney can get into a position where he goes several games without scoring.

    Seeing as it's deadline day it got me thinking would a spell on loan at a club like Everton or Aston Villa or even Newcastle help him adapt to the premiership.
    After all thats how Anderson adapted to life with a good run of games due to Scholes' injury.

    Vidic had a dodgy start to his United career, Evra was a disaster in the derby but is Mr Solid now. Give the lad a chance

    I think Nani will come good. One of my best friends is Portuguese and said that he's got bags of potential but is still very raw. The guy is still very young and is still adapting to English football. He played a few good passes last night (as well as some bad ones) and looked like he could become an excellent player. He just needs time.
    My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method, is love. I love you Sheriff Truman.

    Indeed. He's certainly a player who drifts in and out of games. Ronaldo was poor today like, we dont slate him. Nani like previos have said is going to need time. I agree with you rams 14 that a loan move to any other prem club outside the "big 4" would be a great benefit to him.

    I can not understand some statements here saying that he is not a top player cause he is playing badly, well, from what I seen of him, I see excitement when he has the ball, I see him becoming a better wing player than Ronaldo, he is certainly better at the same age as Ronaldo, he is winger that goes to the touchline rather than inside shooting.
