Manchester United star Nani hopes to take a step towards becoming the "best player in the world" this season by having his best year at Old Trafford.
Nani felt he moved his game onto another level last term as, due to Antonio Valencia's
absence with an ankle injury, the Portuguese switched onto his preferred right wing, ending the season with more Premier League assists than anyone else."Last year was my best year, definitely my most consistent season," the Portugal wide-man told Inside United. Now I hope this is my year. I will do my best.

"Hopefully, when I have finished playing football, people will say 'Nani was a fantastic player who won a lot of titles and beat records at the club'.
"I know I have the condition to be among the select best players in the world but I have to work hard and show that."
