Nani is keen to shelve his World Cup disappointment and help Manchester United regain the Premier League title this season.

The Portugal wide-man was sidelined with a shoulder injury for the South Africa tournament this summer just three days before it started.

And that setback wrapped up a dismal end to the 23-year-old's campaign after Chelsea seized the league crown from United.

But Nani is desperate to bounce back from that heartbreak by giving his all for the Red Devils this term.

"Yes, that was a bad time," Nani said in the Daily Star. "No-one wants to miss a World Cup or a European Championship.

"I was very, very bored in my house. Now I want to help United win the title next season and I will work hard for that."

Rebuilding

Nani has been rebuilding his fitness during United's five-match pre-season tour, which has taken in Canada, North America and Mexico.

"It's good to have this competition," he added. "I just wanted to recover quickly and to get fit.

"My shoulder is strong now. I'm feeling very good in my injury, now I just need to get fitness to play."

The winger is looking forward to continuing his development at United this season, adding: "I am so happy to come back and feel my body strong.

"Now I just want to start the season as quickly as possible, to play and score goals.

"Every season I show everyone I can improve. I'm improving a lot with this team."
