Nani is confident that Manchester United can get a result against Newcastle despite dropping points against Benfica in the Champions League.

Manchester United winger Nani believes that the Red Devils need to forget about dropping points in the Champions League group stage and focus on the next game.

The Premier League champions recorded a 2-2 draw with Benfica at Old Trafford last night, which means that Sir Alex Ferguson's men need a point against FC Basel to qualify for the knockout stages in Europe.

"We are in a good moment," Nani told MUTV. "We have been playing good football and have to forget this [result] and think about the way we have been playing.

"The way we haven't conceded goals [recently] and won games is important. We'll try to do that in the next game against Newcastle.

"We have missed a couple of players. We are missing a couple of players every game, which is not good for any team, but we will be fine in the next games and the players will come back."

The Red Devils take on Newcastle at Old Trafford on Saturday.
