Nani Striving To Get Better

Nani feels he is on course to hit peak form when the Barclays Premier League kicks off next month as he works on all aspects of his game.

The Portuguese winger sparkled during the 7-0 victory against Seattle Sounders and is pleased with how his fitness and sharpness is improving in the United States. After earning the plaudits of his team-mates with the Players' Player of the Year award last term, the former Sporting Lisbon star is enjoying his time away with his colleagues on tour.

"It was good," he told ManUtd.com after the comprehensive win in the second match on the tour. "Two assists. I think I'm improving the passing but there's still a lot of work to do."

When asked about his personal form, he replied: "It's okay, slowly [getting there]. The most important thing is to get the fitness as much as possible. I think I'm working well. Everything I've been doing is okay.

"[There's been] two games, I need more work but I'm fine. I'm just working at everything, a bit of everything - fitness, passing, shooting, crossing, everything."

The new players, including Ashley Young, have injected some freshness into the squad.

"It's nice and we've been working well," said Nani. "As well, the team has been all together. It's fun - we've had fun. Ashley has got qualities, everyone knows he's a good player. He brings a good quality to the team."
