THAT'S FOR STARTERS ... Nani beats Victor Valdes
NANI left the USA after a starspangled display that has shown his Manchester United rivals he is up for the fight.
The Portuguese winger has responded superbly to the challenge for his first-team place laid down by Antonio Valencia and the purchase of Ashley Young.
He scored the opening goal in a 2-1 revenge win over Barcelona here on Saturday as United ended their American tour in style.
Now he wants his first-team place back after losing it towards the end of last season.
Nani, 24, said: "I will try. I want to do much better than last season.
"Competition is good, it inspires you. If you have competition, you will train harder and push yourself in every game.
"I can get better. That is what I am trying to do. It is not easy but it is what I look to achieve every year.
"If I can get more goals and more assists, that will be good for the team and help us in all the competitions we are going for."
Nani certainly looked up for it at the FedEx Field before a record crowd for a football game in Washington of 81,807.
