Nani eager to show best form

18 October 2009 10:19
Manchester United winger Nani has been pleased with his start to the season but says there is still a lot more to come. The Portugal international was only given limited opportunities to impress during his first two seasons at Old Trafford after arriving in 2007. He has been entrusted with more responsibility since Cristiano Ronaldo left the club for Real Madrid over the summer and has shown glimpses of his best form. The 22-year-old nevertheless insists there is room for improvement and he is confident the fans will soon see him perform on a more consistent basis. "Everyone knows it was more difficult for me when Ronaldo was here at United," Nani told The People. "It was always difficult for the manager to play with the two of us together. "But now Cristiano has gone I can show my ambition for the club and I am working very hard. I have pledged to myself that this is going to be my season. "I am only thinking about this season. Forget the past. I want to be the man. I have a lot to do to show people my best because I haven't done that yet at United. "I have played a lot of games and done some good things, but I need to improve." PortugalNani is also convinced that Portugal can book their place in the World Cup after sealing a play-off spot, while he admits he would love to see national team manager Carlos Queiroz return to United at some point in the future. "Portugal have to be confident now because we have done well with a lot of new players and they are getting better all the time," he said. "It must be very different for Carlos Queiroz because here in Manchester he was the second coach. "Being No.1 is a completely different position, but he is still the same person with me. "Maybe he can come back here to United one day. I hope so, but you just never know."
