Man Utd boss Moyes defends underfire Nani

Manchester United boss David Moyes has defended Nani after he was jeered by home fans during victory over Stoke City.

Nani has been criticised for a number of ineffectual performances this season after signing a new five-year contract in the summer.

But Moyes insisted: "He is a regular and captain for Portugal so he is very talented.

"There were one or two decisions he might have made better, but he got us the (first) goal with a lovely ball. We have a lot of competition for places in the wide areas, incredible competition, and that is what we're looking for."
