[LNB] "Of course I have to welcome everyone they sign, I think Manchester United is a fantastic club. When they bring in new players, they know if it is good for the team or not, and this (Young signing) has to help them," Nani said in the suite of his hotel in Singapore. [LNB] "It is good for the team, we want more (players) to help us to win trophies." [LNB]The 24-year-old explained that his experiences competing with the world's most expensive player, Cristiano Ronaldo, for a place in the Portugal line-up and previously in the United first team meant he was not concerned by the prospect of reduced appearances following Young's arrival. [LNB] "I've been there (at United) when Cristiano was there, Cristiano was one of the best players in the world. At that moment (I had no) worries about him (taking my place)," Nani said of his prolific countryman, who joined Real Madrid in 2009. [LNB]Related Articles
