The Portuguese winger insisted that the Red Devils 'always believe until the last minute' after his side secured a late comeback over their rivals at Wembley
By George Ankers
The Portuguese winger scored twice as Sir Alex Ferguson’s side snatched victory, with Phil Jones, Tom Cleverley and Jonny Evans all being introduced at the break in an attempt to turn the game around.
“I think the young lads that came on in the second half helped us believe we can score," he told Sky Sports after the final whistle.
“We are Manchester United and we always believe until the last minute."
“We said that we just need to score the first goal [in the second half] and then the game would be easier for us and then we did well.”
Despite going in two goals down at the break, United dominated the game in both halves, and Nani agreed that putting one over their local rivals was a boost.
“It is always good to play against Manchester City and win like that,” he admitted.
“I think our fans will be so proud of us. It is a beautiful day and now we just enjoy it.”
And the former Sporting Lisbon player revealed that a smart moment of quick thinking was the key to putting away the last-minute chance that sealed the Shield.
“I was trying to chip, but the goalkeeper stayed on his feet so at the last second I changed my mind and put the ball in the net,” he continued.
After the whistle, Rio Ferdinand also praised the strength of United's squad, and the Wembley atmosphere.
"Great support at wembley today," Ferdinand Tweeted. "Thanks to you all where ever you are. We done it the hard way but that's how we do it every year!! #squad"
