Manchester United winger Nani has spoken of his desire to become recognised as one of the world's best footballers.

The 24-year-old Portuguese international has begun the 2011/12 campaign well, scoring in games against Arsenal and Chelsea recently.

"That's one dream I've got - to be the best in the world," he told Inside United. "But I don't let it frustrate me. I have other priorities like winning trophies with the team.

"Hopefully, when I have finished playing football, people will say 'Nani was a fantastic player who won a lot of titles and beat records at the club'.

"I know I have the condition to be among the select best players in the world but I have to work hard and show that."

Nani has made 47 national appearances, scoring nine times.
