Man Utd star Nani keeps it humble: It was a nice goal

Nani was happy to deflect praise to his Manchester United teammates after his screamer in victory over Chelsea.

It's the first time since 1985/86 the Reds have won the first five games of a league campaign (that side won its first 10 league matches) and Nani says confidence is sky-high.

"The whole team has been working hard," he told manutd.com. "We're all together and it gives us confidence for the games. We're a compact team and we've been playing some fantastic football - one and two-touch football- and we're scoring a lot of goals."

The Reds found the net three times on Sunday against Chelsea, with Nani scoring the pick of the bunch. He jinked inside off the right wing before beating a man and unleashing an unstoppable shot that rocketed into the top corner.

Afterwards, Nani admitted it was a "beautiful" goal but shied away from declaring it his best in a United shirt.

"I've scored a couple of beautiful goals but I'd have to see the others to compare," he said. "It was a nice goal, though."
