    I wish he would stop doing it, i remember the manager telling him to cut down on doing it, but he's still carrying on with the celebration, he could get an ankle injury by coninuing to do it, i remember when Lomana Lua Lua did the backflip celebration when he scored against Arsenal in the 05/06 season and he got an ankle injury and i think he was ruled out for a couple of weeks.

    Not sure if thats true Matth, Nani said: "Ferguson has never spoken to me about this subject and I am going to continue to celebrate goals in this way. The conversations he has had with me are normal conversations, like he has with all players." http://www.manutd.com/en/News-And-F...ug/Nani-feels-settled-at-United.aspx?pageNo=1

    Possibly but David Seaman (it is claimed) once broke a bone reaching for his TV remote, Dave Beasant was kept out by a foot injury caused by a falling jar of salad cream and Rio Ferdinand back in 2001 damaged his knee while relaxing in front of the TV with his feet up on a coffee table.

    Injuries happen.

    Nani probably knows not to overdo the celebrations when he scores.

    Also, if he does get injured in the future as a result of doing one of these back flip celebrations, Fergie would probably give him the hair-dryer treatment for doing it.

    It's part of who he is, let him do it.

    Infact im more worried about the fact that we rarely see why nani is so highly rated. Most of the time he's utter toss.

    Funniest thing about that is that Beasant dropped the salad cream on his own foot! Even Calamity James never managed that <laugh>

    Nani clearly knows what hes doing and it brings a bit of something different to the games.

    PMJ, Nani shows us many times why hes so highly rated. He like every player has a bad day now and again.

    IMO we shouldn't let any of our players play, because they might get hurt. I think Beckham hurt his knee celebrating a goal for Real Madrid, and he wasn't doing back flips. Plus Nani has toned his flip celebration down. Didn't he used to like 3 flips after he scored a goal?

    We should rest him so that he doesn't get a chance to do the celebration.

    All players should not be allowed to use hair wax/gel in case they have an allergic reaction to the chemicals involved in the making process

    Don't forget that spiky hair from gel may else be dangerous, could take an eye out.

    Maybe they can come out in some American football gear just to make sure no 1 gets hurt.
