Fergie to axe outspoken star
Manchester United, 12:40, November 12, 2009 ,
Nani's future at Manchester United could be hanging by a thread after he hit out at Sir Alex Ferguson in the Portuguese press.
The midfielder has failed to live up to expectations since arriving at Old Trafford and he has again struggled to command a regular place in the first-team this season.
Following the departure of Ronaldo it was hoped that Nani would step up to the plate but he has failed to do so and has again had to settle for a bit-part role.
Nani's future has been shrouded in doubt as reports claim Ferguson is losing patience with him and if the player's comments turn out to be correct then he could have sealed his own fate. Ferguson is likely to be fuming with the comments and it could spell the end for Nani.
"Ferguson is a very complicated man," Nani told the Portuguese newspaper 'I'. "He's tough. If things are all right, then they are all right. But when he thinks something is wrong, everything is screwed.
"He can go from complimenting you to just plain trashing you in a matter of minutes. Has it happened to me? Hell, yes! He'll say 'Nani, how could you miss this or this'?"
