United winger does not want a summer of regret
Manchester United winger Nani is determined to claim at least one trophy this season to avoid a summer of regrets.
The Red Devils were pipped to the Premier League title by Chelsea last term and Nani admits it was difficult to move on from the disappointment.
The Portugal international has helped steer United into a good position to reclaim their crown this year, despite Tuesday's controversial loss at Stamford Bridge.
Sir Alex Ferguson's men are also still involved in the UEFA Champions League and FA Cup, and Nani is hungry to claim some silverware.
"We want to win the league every season. You don't get tired of winning trophies," Nani told the club's
official website.
"When I went on my holidays last year, the first week I couldn't stop thinking about how we lost out in the league to Chelsea.
"Thankfully there was the World Cup so I had something else to look forward to. This year, there's no World Cup, so I know it could be a very long summer.
"I don't want that to happen. I want to be on holiday with a big smile because I've won at least one trophy."
Nani's ability to use both feet is something that has caused Premier League defences major problems this season, with six of his ten goals coming from his left boot.
While a lot of that is down to natural talent, the 24-year-old admits he spent hours learning his craft as a youngster to make sure he was equally comfortable on either flank.
"When I was very young I used to go to the local square where we played football and practise alone," he explained.
"Sometimes I would spend all afternoon there, practising with my right foot and then with my left foot.
"I'd practice curling the ball, hitting it hard. I always wanted to improve. Now I know that all my hard work has paid off.
"It doesn't matter to me which side I play on because I am confident of beating my opponent on either side and I can cross and shoot with both feet."
