It’s a two-horse race – Nani
(23-12-2010) Nani believes the league is a two-horse race between Manchester United and Chelsea. As things stand just three points separate the top four teams heading into Christmas. Nevertheless, the Portugal international has written off the chances of Arsenal and Manchester City, claiming that only Carlo Ancelotti's Blues can stop United. "I no longer see anybody winning the Premier League this season outside of Manchester United or Chelsea. Hopefully, it will be United," said Nani on Wednesday. Turning his attention to his own improved form, the 24-year-old feels the departure of compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo has given him the chance to flourish. "It is easier for me to stand out now that Cristiano has left the club. He is a fantastic player who got all the attention and deservedly so. But it is also true to say that, when he left United, it freed up space for other players to shine.”
