Football: Nani welcomes Young’s signing

SINGAPORE: Manchester United winger Nani has no plans to quit the English champions following the signing of Ashley Young last week.

Nani had been linked with a move away from Old Trafford and admitted that watching games from the bench was “boring” but the Portuguese said he was looking forward to meeting his new teammate. “Of course I have to welcome everyone they sign, I think Man United is a fantastic club,” he said. “When they bring in new players, they know if it’s good for the team or not, and this [Young’s signing] has to help them. It’s good for the team.”
