Portuguese Nani claims to be one of the top players in the world

Luís Carlos Almeida da Cunha, also known as Nani, has become one of the most important players in the current Manchester United squad. His last goal against Tottenham Hotspurs, even though very rare, was vital to get the victory.

He claims that hard training and discipline is helping him improve his performance each game. "As a professional footballer, I'm close to being as complete as I can be, because y work hard to be one of the top players in the world. And I think I reached that level. I play for the best club in the world and my role here is as a decisive player, scoring goals or setting up and so the team can win" Nani said.

The portugues player also talks about self confidence: "You have to believe in yourself and believe in your abilities on the pitch. Big games are for big players".

But it seems like most fans just don't agree with him. In fact, many forums over the Internet are showing the opinion of Manchester United supporters, who say that the striker is a "joke" and "deluded".

Manchester United battle Chelsea in a match that could decide the next champion of the Premier League

The winner of the clash between Manchester United and Chelsea at the Old Trafford will be really close to the crown of the Premier League. Arsenal, who remains in the third place and battle Wolverhampton, hope to take advantage of an eventual tie.

Ferguson's team is only one point over Ancelotti's Chelsea, and there are only six games left for each club. These ingredients make this derby a decisive one.

Wayne Rooney will be out of this tremendous match because of an injury suffered in the last game against Bayern Munich for the Champions League.

However, United's statistics without Rooney are extremly good too: in 11 games without him, the Red Devils got 10 wins and one tie.

In the other side, Chelsea - recently eliminated from the Champions League - had enough time to recover his most important player: Didier Drogba healed a knee injury and will be in the starting team.
