Sporting coach Silva: Nani right to come home

Sporting Lisbon coach Marco Silva is delighted counting on Manchester United midfielder Nani.

On-loan Nani is set to face Chelsea in their Champions League tie.

"He came home," the Sporting boss said.

"Sporting was his previous club. He knows his team-mates. This is the best choice he could've made."

Asked about needing to rebuild Nani's shattered confidence, Silva said: "The confidence of the team is growing collectively. That is what we must focus on."
