United vs Reading
The 26-year-old Nani was Manchester Uniteds star in the FA Cup tie this morning.
He rose from the substitutes’ bench to put United in the driving seat in their Treble quest with his goal and assist inspiring the Reds to a hard fought 2-1 fifth-round victory over Reading.
Nani was only brought on early because of a first-half injury to Phil Jones but he quickly seized his moment to give United the edge. In the second half he scored the breakthrough goal in the 69th minute and then set up Javier Hernandez three minutes later to score United’s second.
“I think Nani deserved to be man of the match,” said Fergie.
“I think his contribution was terrific. When he came on he had two great strikes, one hit the post and one the goalkeeper saved. In the second half he scored the opening goal and I felt he would win the match for us. He’s got great talent and I had a feeling he would win the game for us. You could see he was right on form and he had two great strikes straight away and he was a threat to them the whole night.”
Bring on Middlesborough ... :)
