You’ve been having your worst season since you’ve joined the club, pundits and fans alike are ripping you to shreds, claiming all the goals you scored in the previous 5 seasons were flukes. You’re not having the best game, and it’s a vital one, drawing 1-1 with the bitter city rivals, only 15 minutes to go in a game that could go either way, a crucial moment in the title race with Arsenal hot on your heels. Nani sends in a high ball from the right, in a split second you have to adjust your position and leap into the air, improvise as the ball is behind you and in no position to head. Your right boot catches the ball perfectly and it flies into the top corner, Joe Hart rooted to the spot and the Stretford End delirious. Try 100 times and you couldn’t do that again, you won’t see a better chilena. Take a bow

2. Dimitar Berbatov vs Liverpool, second goal, 19/09/10
Many thought the goal of the season competition ended on September 19th when Berbatov controlled a wide ball from Nani with his knee, flicked it up and then scored an overhead kick off the underside of the crossbar. Sublime control, technique and execution.  It was Berbatov’s second goal of a hat trick that consigned the mid-table club from Merseyside to the kind of misery they’ve become accustomed to over the past two decades.

3. Dimitar Berbatov vs Blackburn, hat trick goal, 27/11/10
The best United team goal of the season, started and finished by Berbatov in what must be the individual performance of the season, scoring 5 goals against a torrid Blackburn. A fitting hat trick goal, he picked it up in his own half, played a delightful one-two with Evra before majestically spraying the ball out wide to Nani with the outside of his right foot. Nani’s trickery took him past the Blackburn full back before laying it off for Berbatov to stroke in the top left hand corner, leaving Paul Robinson no chance.

4. Luis Nani vs Blackburn, 27/11/10
The second best United team goal of the season, coming in the same match as the goal above. Nani assisted the top 3 goals in this list, and scored the other 2. In my opinion the best player in the Premiership this season. 9 goals and 13 assists so far, including a number of game winning performances. Stepping out from the shadow of another greasy Latino who once graced the hallowed turf of Old Trafford, Nani has taken his time to develop but is now one of our best and most influential players.

5. Luis Nani vs Bolton, 26/09/10
Nani doing his best Cristiano impression, picking the ball up in his own half then marauding through the Bolton midfield and defence with pace and power before hitting a right foot shot low into the bottom left hand corner.

Nani’s left foot rocket vs Bursaspor , Chicharito’s back-header against Stoke, and Rooney’s opener against Villa are other notable goals from a “poor” United team. We’ll be lucky if we make the top 4 this season, if you believe Piers Morgan.

We'll do what we want.
