Nani issues rallying cry

Manchester United winger Nani has urged his side to go to the Etihad Stadium and get a result next Monday, but admits his disappointment at dropping points at the weekend.

The reigning champions saw their lead at the top of the Premier League cut from five points to three points after a 4-4 draw with Everton at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Despite the close-knit nature of the title race, the Portugal international is staying positive ahead of next week’s derby fixture.

“There is anger from the players because we wanted to win against Everton,” Nani told MUTV.

“We’re disappointed to lose four goals. But that’s football. It can happen sometimes.

“We have to keep believing in our qualities because we still have a great opportunity to win the title. It’s a huge game.

“It will be a difficult game, but if you want to win the league you cannot think about the atmosphere or the opponents. Of course we can win,” he defied.
