Ryan Giggs' ability to turn Saturday's Stoke City tie in Manchester United's favour further highlighted the sub-par performance of Portuguese winger Nani, but when the international is feeling low, he claims he can always find a confidence boost when he talks to international team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo.Nani arrived at the Theatre of Dreams in a similar style to Ronaldo, now at Real Madrid.
They were purchased from the same club, Sporting CP, and employed a multitude of tricks and flicks in the initial stages of their Old Trafford days - but the former has not developed at the same rate as the latter.
The 22-year-old winger, though, still seeks the approval of Ronaldo.
"Cristiano and I talk a lot," Nani revealed to Sky Sports News. "We speak about my own game and he gives me confidence to go out and perform."
Ronaldo recently talked-up the talent and potential of Nani. He said: "Nani is an excellent player and I am sure that in a few years he will be among the best players in the world."
