Man Utd No2 Phelan: Penny has dropped for improving Nani

Manchester United management are delighted with the form of Nani.

The Portugal winger was outstanding in the win at Bolton Wanderers - which came just days after inking a new United contract.

United No2 Mike Phelan told BBC Sport: "We've always believed that Nani has got great talent, good ability, fantastic physical specimen really, he is an athlete. We just wanted him to focus a little bit more and concentrate and this year, to be fair to him, he's realised what potential he's got and he's proving to be a vital cog in the team now.

"You see him setting up two goals today, some great skill, good concentration levels and composure and we know that he's got that, we just want to see if more often."
