I'd agree with that assessment. You do wonder, based on how little Fergie has used him this season, how big a factor Queiroz was in his signing. Just six leagues starts, and he didn't even get a runout against Everton at Wembley. It does seem as if Fergie doesn't fancy him. He may well be trying to keep the pressure off him and wait until next season, but since CQ left Nani hasn't enjoyed anywhere near the same level of trust as he did last year.
