Nani 07-08 Compilation

My compilation on a great young manchester united talent. Goals, skills, runs, assists from 2007-2008 season at Manchester United.
Sporting and Manchester United agreed an undisclosed fee for Nani to sign for the Manchester club. The fee is believed to be in the region of £14m, the alleged value of the release clause in Nani's contract. Tottenham Hotspur were also reported to have made a bid for the player. Real de Massamá received 5% of the transfer fee paid by Manchester United, which is approximately €1.25m. Nani passed his medical at United's Carrington training ground on 6 June 2007, before being confirmed as a Manchester United player on 2 July. It was announced that Nani had signed a five-year contract with the club.

On 9 July, Nani was revealed to the press along with fellow newcomer Owen Hargreaves.[6] He was handed the number 17 shirt for the 2007-08 season, the shirt previously worn by Henrik Larsson during his short spell at the club.

Nani scored on his debut in a pre-season friendly against Shenzhen FC, in which United ran out 6-0 winners. He also scored in the following game against Guangzhou Pharmaceutical with a chip off the right post from the left side of the penalty area. Nani decided to set the record straight after reports suggested he had been banned by Sir Alex Ferguson from doing his trademark somersault celebration for fear of injuring himself. "That is not true," he said. "Ferguson has never spoken to me about this subject and I am going to continue to celebrate goals in this way. The conversations he has had with me are normal conversations, like he has with all players."

Nani made his competitive debut for Manchester United on 5 August 2007, coming on as a substitute in the Community Shield against Chelsea. He marked his debut with a trophy after the Red Devils won 3-0 on penalties, following a 1-1 draw in normal time. This was followed up with Nani's third goal for the club three days later when he scored against Glentoran. The Portuguese youngster celebrated the goal with his trademark backflip.

Nani's Premier League debut came in United's opening match at home to Reading on 12 August as a substitute for Wayne Rooney, who had suffered a foot injury. On 26 August 2007, Nani scored his first competitive goal for Manchester United, scoring a 30-yard winner against Tottenham Hotspur, leading the team to their first win of the 2007-08 season. He celebrated his first goal for the club with his trademark somersault. Nani also set up crucial goals for Louis Saha and Nemanja Vidic allowing United to beat both Sunderland and Everton 1-0. He returned to previous club, Lisbon in a Champions League tie in September, though it was teammate, Ronaldo who "stole the limelight" by scoring the winner in a 1-0 win.
Nani scored his second league goal for the club in a 4-1 victory over Middlesbrough at Old Trafford on the 27th October 2007. After dribbling from inside his own half, he cut inside and unleashed a strike from outside the box, beating goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer from more than 30 yards. Nani's success continued when he scored a goal and assisted three others in a 4-0 win against Arsenal in the 5th round of the FA cup. In interviews at the end of the game both Arsene Wenger and Sir Alex Ferguson criticised Nani when he began showboating after his side had gone 4-0 ahead. Wenger said: "Nani was very good today but he did not need to juggle the ball. He is a young player and wanted to show what he could do. Maybe he can learn from this." Ferguson agreed although the criticism was more mild. "I think he shouldn't be doing that, he doesn't need to do that," he said. "In some ways it shows a great deal of courage to do what he did, that's one side of it."
