Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says Nani is capable of becoming a global superstar.
The Portuguese international is now one of the first names of the manager's teamsheet and, at 22, has plenty of time to break into the highest echelon of players in world football.
"I don't need to trumpet Nani's improvement," Sir Alex told reporters on Friday. "He has been consistent all season. He is a match-winner; he creates goals and he scores goals.
"He had seven strikes at goal against [Manchester] City and that is a high ratio for a winger, particularly in a big game, and he scored a goal as well. Every time he gets near that box you think something is going to happen.
"He is starting to mature and be consistent. At 22 years of age, that gives him a good chance of getting to the level you are talking about."
