Manchester United have won the race for Portuguese starlet Nani leaving Tottenham to look elsewhere as they seek to add width to their squad.
The chance to link up with international team-mate Dimitar Berbatov at White Hart Lane will appeal to the 28-year-old left-sided star, who has played in Switzerland and Germany as well as Spain.

Aguirre sorprendió al mejor estilo argentino
Al entrenador del Atlético Madrid le comunicaron el estado de la lesión de la figura de su equipo y éste se acordó de la abuela. Entérese de la frase popular que utilizó para soltar su bronca
Fernando Torres se lesionó en el encuentro que el Atlético Madrid ganó por 2 a 0, con dos goles suyos, ante el Nástic. Los médicos enviaron su parte a los medios de comunicación e inmediatamente consultaron al entrenador sobre la noticia.
Sorprendido, Javier Aguirre, soltó un "Éramos pocos y parió la abuela”. Pero luego se dio cuenta del exabrupto y se puso un poco más serio aunque, al estilo argentino, nuevamente le salió el gaucho de adentro.
Atlético Madrid se colocó en puestos europeos con doblete de Torres
El Atlético Madrid regresó a la sexta posición de la Liga española de fútbol, que da acceso a la próxima Copa de la UEFA, al ganar ayer en terreno del Gimnástic de Tarragona (2-0), con un doblete de su delantero Fernando Torres (minutos 11 y 54), en la 36ª fecha. El Atlético había perdido de forma provisional la sexta plaza en beneficio del Villarreal, que se había impuesto el sábado en campo del Valencia (3-2), con doblete del uruguayo Diego Forlán.El Levante, por su parte, prácticamente ha logrado eludir el descenso tras ganar el domingo por 3-2 en el campo del Racing de Santander.
El Levante (15º) se impuso con un tanto del marfileño Félix Ettien y dos del holandés Riga Mustapha, lo que le permite colocarse a seis puntos del último puesto de descenso a segunda cuando sólo quedan otros seis en juego antes del final de temporada. El serbio Nicola Zigic (32) y el brasileño Felipe Melo (78) fueron los encargados de marcar los dos goles del Racing de Santander (10º). El Celta (penúltimo), por su parte, tiene todavía esperanzas de eludir el descenso tras ganar por 2-1 al Betis, poniéndose a cuatro puntos del Athletic (17º).
El Betis, cuyo entrenador, Luis Fernández fue expulsado por protestar, se adelantó en terreno de los gallegos con un tanto del brasileño Robert (30), aunque el veterano argentino Gustavo López empató en el minuto 42 con un tiro raso que se coló pegado al palo de Pedro Contreras. Ya en el descuento, el brasileño Fernando Baiano transformó un dudoso penalti cometido por el portero Contreras sobre Antonio Núñez (90+4).En los partidos adelantados del sábado, el Real Madrid conservó su liderato en la Liga española de fútbol al derrotar en su estadio al Deportivo La Coruña por 3-1, aunque sigue empatado a puntos con el FC Barcelona, que ganó por 1-0 al Getafe.El Real Madrid se impuso con goles de Sergio Ramos (28), Raúl González (57) y Ruud Van Nistelrooy (74), mientras que el Deportivo llegó a empatar en el 54 por medio de Josep Capdevila.El FC Barcelona, por su parte, ganó con apuros al Getafe, su verdugo en semifinales de la Copa del Rey, gracias a un gol de Ronaldinho, en posible fuera de juego, en el minuto 2 de partido, tras un centro de Samuel Eto'o. El brasileño acabaría siendo expulsado en el 40.

Quaresma Focused On Porto
Porto winger Ricardo Quaresma is not paying too much attention to the rumours linking him with Atletico Madrid.
The former Barcelona youngster scored against CSKA Moscow in the Champions League on Tuesday night as the Portuguese side won 2-0 in Russia.
Porto only need a point against Arsenal in the final group game to progress but Quaresma is adamant his team will go for the victory.
"It was an important goal. We controlled the game all the time and we proved to be a top-class team," he said.
"It will be a complicated game against Arsenal, but we promise to play our best and we'll do everything to win it."
On the transfer rumours, he added: "I can think only of Porto. It's always good to know that other European teams are interested in me, but I'm focused on helping the team reach our goals."
Atletico are looking for a new winger after the long-term injuries sustained by Martin Petrov and Maxi Rodriguez.
Transfer speculation: Luis Garcia to Atletico Madrid (£5 million)
Player: Luis Garcia
From: Liverpool
To: Atletico Madrid
Cost: £5 million
Source: Marca
Likely?: 2/5
Most reports have blamed Steven Gerrard’s continued use on the right hand side of midfield as the key reason for Liverpool’s abject performance against Arsenal last weekend and, although it might well have had an impact, there’s nothing to suggest that playing him elsewhere might have made a difference.
Such was the focus on Gerrard that many failed to pick up Mark Gonzalez’s worryingly inadequate performance on the other flank of midfield. Much less did they mention the fact that Gonzalez was playing largely because the man who had done so well there in previous weeks was missing through injury.
It is hardly surprising given that Luis Garcia, the player in question, is hardly a favourite of the media who often tend to focus on his weaknesses rather than his strengths. Instead of enjoying the creativity and sense of unpredictability that he brings to the side, they often opt to report his failed passes.
Back home in Spain it seems that the opposite is the case. Garcia is a regular squad member for the national team and his goals from midfield are greatly appreciated. So, in that sense, it is not surprising to hear talk of the player reportedly indicating that he would like to move home with Atletico Madrid.
The Spanish newspaper Marca, which has reported this story, isn’t normally too bothered with verifying facts and this is probably the case this time round as well. That they’re reporting the news based on what third parties have heard and even so fail to carry any quotes strengthens this impression.
When he took over as manager, Rafael Benitez insisted on taking Garcia to Liverpool and, although the players isn’t as appreciated as much as he should be, there is nothing to suggest that the manager’s belief in him has in any way diminished.

Costinha backs Atletico Madrid bid for Quaresma
Costinha has backed Atletico Madrid's push for his Portugal teammate Ricardo Quaresma.
Atletico are expected to splash out £8 million in January for the Porto winger and midfielder Costinha said: "I do not know if he is going to come. I know him very well and he is a good player, of great quality for a young person.
"But it is better to speak about those that are here. He cannot do anything for us."

Atletico Madrid president raps Capello over Torres attack
Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has hit back at Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello after his 'cheater' rap for Fernando Torres.
Capello believes Torres played up during a clash with Sergio Ramos, which saw the Real defender sent-off in Sunday's derby.
"Torres is not a cheater. What's more, he's one of the cleanest players in the Liga and receives the most kicks without complaining," said Cerezo.
"Capello's words are unfortunate and wrong. It does not seem normal to me that among coaches and players they accuse eachother this way."

BECKHAM'S CAREER SINKS TO THE PITTS
If that wasn't bad enough, Becks has found new-boy Jose Reyes coming ahead of him in the pecking order at Real Madrid, and he was stuck on the bench again for their 1-1 derby draw with Atletico at the weekend. However, you won't find Goldenballs complaining: "I can't complain because I'm not in the starting line-up," he said. "There are lots of players on the bench in the same circumstances."
