Nani is ready to wait for his chance at Manchester United.

The Portugal winger told MUTV: "It's a long season so some of the players will get tired," he said. "But we have a big squad and if we change one player it is not a problem because the players that come in do a good job.

"I am confident that, if I play, I can do well for the team. I have to wait for my opportunities and I knew that was the case when I joined. I don't see it as a problem."

Nani is in direct competition with United stalwart and stand-in skipper Ryan Giggs for the left wing position, a player he has great respect for.

"I am new at this club and players like Ryan Giggs have played for United for many years," he added. "Giggs has a great history at this club. I just have to wait for my time to come and when it does I have to show that I can play well.

"I am OK and I feel settled at the club. I think I have improved a lot since I started. And as I get more games, more training and more time learning I will keep on improving as a player."
