Ferguson set to axe winger Nani

Manchester: Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is ready to dump Nani after defeat at Everton. According to The Sun the winger is going to pay a high price for his below par performance in Monday's 1-0 defeat at Everton.

According to a source Nani can also forget about a new contract. A United source said: "The club did not think his form at the end of last season put him in a very strong bargaining position over a new deal. Monday was hardly his best either."

Ashley Young is set to replace Nani for United's weekend game against Fulham at Old Trafford. Nani, 25, has become frustrated at the collapse of talks over a new four-year deal.

The United source added: "There was an intention to get him on a new four-year contract.

"But initial demands from Nani's side were way over the top. Right now United are happy to leave it until next summer unless his demands are dramatically dropped. But they won't sell unless silly money comes in."
