Ferguson tells Nani to stay and fight for Man Utd future
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has told Nani he has a future at Old Trafford.
Barcelona made an enquiry about Nani in the summer, while AC Milan and Benfica have been linked to a New Year move.
But Ferguson said: “Some big clubs have been mentioned for Nani, like Milan and Benfica, but there has been no contact made with us – and we wouldn’t entertain selling him anyway.
“He is only 23. If someone came in for Nani in January we would tell him that he is going absolutely nowhere.”
Nani has made 85 appearances and scored 12 goals for United since Ferguson brought him to the club.
But he has struggled to hold down a regular starting place and reports from Portugal suggest that he wants to quit the club.
Ferguson added: “He’s a young boy and he wants to play – and he might get a chance against Spurs in the Carling Cup this week.
“He has suffered because Valencia’s form has been excellent and because Obertan has emerged as an interesting player. It is no criticism of Nani, but the way things have developed in the last few weeks have gone against him.
“I have spoken to him and told him that he must take his chance when it comes along.”
