Manchester United winger Nani is looking forward to tomorrow's Champions League fixture against Benfica.

Manchester United winger Nani has revealed that he is looking forward to tomorrow's Champions League fixture against Benfica at Old Trafford.

The Portuguese international has come up against the Encarnados on numerous occasions throughout his career, including a trio of matches during his time with Sporting Lisbon.

"I used to play against Benfica [for Sporting] and those matches are like United versus City. They're always tough games," he told a press conference this afternoon.

"I've an okay record against them. I think I lost one, won one and drew another. I'm sure Benfica will play good football but they'll be careful as well, because they know they're playing away.

"But we're playing on our own ground so we'll do our best to get a positive result."

United and Benfica are currently level at the top of their group on eight points.
