Nani on Rooney ban: Man Utd always having to fight against things

Manchester United winger Nani has no doubts Wayne Rooney's ban will rally the players.

The FA upheld Rooney's two-match suspension for swearing after United appealed against the severity of the ban, arguing the punishment did not fit the crime.

Nani risked upsetting United supporters when he claimed: "When we score goals, the celebration is for us, not for fans or other people.

"But Wayne is a superstar and everyone focuses on him when he does something, which is difficult.

"I don't think about what people think about us. I just focus on my job and I want the team to be focused as well. All we want to do is show that we are the best.

"Every year, we fight against these things. A lot of people like Manchester United but, on the other side, it's normal for people to have another opinion and speak bad about us.

"In that case we have to be strong and try to win every game. That's all we need to do."
