Nani Vowed Fans Will See The Real Manchester United After The International Break

Nani has vowed fans will see the real Manchester United after the international break.

 

The winger's run and cross led to Adnan Januzaj's volleyed winner at the weekend, after it was headed out by ex-Red John O'Shea, and the Portugal star was pleased to continue a good run of form at Sunderland. United have now won on three of the last four visits to Wearside after Nani's solitary effort proved the difference between the two sides in 2010.

"It was a very good win for us," Nani told ManUtd.com. "We had a really good performance after being unlucky to lose a goal so early on. Phil Jones tried to block and it came off Vida [Nemanja Vidic] and just bounced for them. "But I think we played very well in the second half and there was good shape from everyone. If we can get to our maximum for the next games, we will show the real Manchester United then. "We knew it was always difficult to come to Sunderland to play but we've had some very good results in this stadium as well. We knew we had to play better than we did in the first half and we just had to find the right moments to come back." 

Nani was impressed by Januzaj's contribution on Wearside after the teenager's double strike clinched an important success.

"It was a good day for him," said the skilful wide man. "We know he has good skills and is a good player. He has chances to push on and I hope he can help us more in the team." The World Cup qualifiers now take Nani's focus, with his country hoping to qualify from Group F. Portugal sit a point behind leaders Russia ahead of a home double-header against Israel and Luxembourg. 

"We need to win the next games and see if Russia drop points," he added. "But we will focus on winning our own games. "We are virtually at least in the play-offs but we will see what is going to happen this week. "It's totally different to play for Manchester United and play for the national team. I think the spirit will be very good after we go away for these two games with the national team as we'll then be back to full time with United and hopefully we can try to do our best."
