Manchester United Winger Nani Attributes Early Poor Form To Injury
Portuguese midfielder hoping to put barren spell behind him.

Tireless Englishman Wayne Rooney scored all four of United's goals during Saturday's Premier League win against Phil Brown's Tigers, yet it was the commendable creative contribution of Nani on the right flank that also attracted plaudits.
"It was very frustrating to be out injured, but it happens in football," the Portugal international revealed on MUTV. "I'm back now and I feel very good.
"I was happy with my performance [against Hull] and I just want to keep improving every week so I can help the team be successful," he said, quashing any early-January notion that he would be primed for a mid-season exit.
"Everyone is very happy," added Nani. "It's great to be top of the table and it's given everyone a lot of confidence.
"We're playing well, scoring goals and feeling good."
