Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has insisted the club has no intention of selling Portuguese winger Nani despite speculation surrounding his future.
The 23-year-old has once again struggled to make an impact in the first team this season and has spoken out about his frustration at being dropped for important games against Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur.
While this has led to speculation the youngster could be heading for an Old Trafford exit, Ferguson has insisted this is not the case.
“Some big clubs have been mentioned for Nani, like Milan and Benfica, but there has been no contact made with us – and we wouldn’t entertain selling him anyway,” he told the Sunday Mirror.
“He is only 23. If someone came in for Nani in January we would tell him that he is going absolutely nowhere.”
The Scot also hinted that the Portuguese international could expect a start in midweek when the Red Devils take on Tottenham Hotspur in the League Cup.
“He’s a young boy and he wants to play – and he might get a chance
against Spurs in the Carling Cup this week,” explained Sir Alex.
“He has suffered because Valencia’s form has been excellent and because Obertan has emerged as an interesting player.”
The United boss also warned Nani that when he was handed an outing he must “take his chance”.
He added: “It is no criticism of Nani, but the way things have developed in the last few weeks have gone against him.
“I have spoken to him and told him that he must take his chance when it comes along.”
