Nani sidelined with dislocated shoulder

WEMBLEY, England (AP) -Manchester United winger Nani is set to miss the start of the Premier League season after dislocating his shoulder in the Community Shield loss to Chelsea.

Nani was injured in a clash with Chelsea captain John Terry during Sunday's match at Wembley Stadium.

Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson said: "He's out for a while, the worry being that we couldn't put it back into place.''

Nani had scored United's opening goal, but the Premier League champions were held to a 2-2 draw and were beaten 4-1 by Chelsea in the penalty shootout.

My first thought was why on earth couldn't these things happen to Mancs AFTER the transfer window has closed?

To be fair he doesn't need his shoulder to play football.

to be fair to the lad, he did look quite useful yesterday.

For about 20 minutes. He's done it before and I'm sure he will do it again but basically he is a bit like Babel - a fair amount of talent but not able to do anything useful with it often enough. And he cost more. And is quite possibly worse.
