Manchester United Vs. Birmingham City: Nani Finally Gets His Goal, United Hammering Brum 5-0

Nani has found his scoring touch at Old Trafford in the contest's 76th minute. When John O'Shea slid a business as usual ball to Nani on the right side of the box, the Portuguese international tip-toed the edge of the box line before shooting past Ben Foster who simply wants his day to end.

Just a few weeks ago, United were unable to defeat this same Brum squad in Birmingham at St. Andrew’s. What a difference a few weeks make as now United can’t stop scoring while they’ve been equally effective in defending - Edwin van der Sar has rarely been tested on the day.

With 10 minutes left to play, Nani has enjoyed his best spell of the day on United's right flank. Time after time he's challenged Birmingham's left back David Murphy while Murphy has yet to figure out a way to slow down the pacy winger. As the game has turned into a training exercise for the league leaders, Dimitar Berbatov and Michael Owen continue to lead the line for United while the Blues can muster little moving forward.
