United winger keen to play a leading role in trophy quest
Manchester United winger Nani hopes the goals will continue to flow this season, but insists he will not be setting any targets.
The Portugal international took his tally for the season to four on Wednesday when he notched in the UEFA Champions League encounter with Bursaspor.
His spectacular strike helped to seal all three points for United, with a narrow 1-0 win enough to keep the Red Devils on course for the knockout stages.
Sir Alex Ferguson spoke in glowing terms about Nani's progress after the European encounter, expressing his delight at seeing the 23-year-old offer more of a goal threat.
Nani hopes he can repay his manager's faith with plenty more efforts over the course of the season, helping to cover the likely loss of Wayne Rooney.
Consistent
The former Sporting Lisbon star will not be laying down any personal goals, though, insisting that the collective cause is more important than individual achievement.
"It is a fantastic feeling," Nani told
MUTV after his midweek stunner.
"I am working towards getting stronger and more consistent. But, more so, I want my performances to be important for the team. Most important is that Manchester United win.
"I've already scored some goals and I want to score more. But I haven't set myself a goal, I just want to work hard and see what I achieve at the end of the season.
"We are doing well in the Champions League. We have not lost a game and now we are in a good position. We now need to think about winning the next game (against Stoke on Sunday)."
