Fergie: Nani not for sale

Sir Alex Ferguson has ruled out the possibility of selling Nani in January or this Summer.

The Portuguese winger has struggled to keep his place in the team this season due to the form of Antonio Valencia and the emergence of Gabriel Obertan, but Sir Alex says he may get a chance against Spurs in the Carling Cup.

“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,” Ferguson is quoted by 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.

“He’s a young boy and he wants to play – and he might get a chance against Spurs in the Carling Cup this week.

“He has suffered because Valencia’s form has been excellent and because Obertan has emerged as an interesting player.

“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.”
