Manchester United can become new Invincibles: Nani

Nani, who scored a winner against Stoke, has predicted that Manchester United can become the new Invincibles by going through the Premier League season SO FAR unbeaten.

Arsenal became the original Invincibles when they went through the 38 games of the 2003-2004 season unbeaten.

Nani claimed that "something very special" is going to happen, and said: "I hope we can go the whole season unbeaten. We are in a great position. We have been doing so well. We have to keep working hard and doing the same things."

"Providing we stay together I feel we will finish the season with something very special," The Sun quoted Nani, as saying.

At this stage of the season Arsenal had 46 points from their 20 games while United are just two back on 44.

Having been unbeaten in the two games of their previous season and the first nine of the following campaign, Arsenal infamously went to Old Trafford in October 2004 bidding to make it 50 league games without defeat.

They had T-shirts on under their strips to celebrate the fact only to lose 2-0.

United are halfway to eclipsing that Arsenal tally as they themselves are now on an unbeaten league run of 25 games, stretching back to last season.

They last lost in the league on April 3, 2010 when they went down 2-1 at home to eventual champions Chelsea.
