Nani speaks highly of Mourinho

The Portuguese coach has been linked with a move for his compatriot after an impressive season with United. And although Nani claims he is happy with the Premier League champions, the Portugal international is flattered to be linked with the Spanish giants. "I am fine at Manchester United but it is good to hear there are other clubs interested," he said at a youth tournament in Seixal. "Would I like to work under Mourinho? Yes, but at this moment I am fine at Manchester United." Nani insists it has been his best campaign since joining United from Sporting Lisbon in 2007. Yet despite playing a major role in his third title success with the Red Devils, the 24-year-old could not hide his frustration at being left out of the starting line-up for the Champions League final defeat by Barcelona last month. "It was a very positive season for Manchester United, and my best individual campaign," he added. "I was left with a bitter taste in my mouth after not being a starter in the Champions League final. "I was hoping to play from the start, but it is up to the coach to decide."
