However in his second term, he has been a creative figure for the club, who has combined with the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pablo-Aimar-c28938 to deadly effect. While he hasn’t been able to get on the score sheet with regularity, the talented midfielder
has been able to assist his teammates five times.
In the UEFA Champions League, the 23-year-old has gotten a lot of recognition for his services, as he led the charge for Benfica and has gotten them into the knock-out stages of the prestigious European competition.
Sir Alex Ferguson made no secret of his admiration for the attacker and praised his talents before and after his side’s clash with Benfica.
The media have speculated that a move to Old Trafford might be on the cards and the player’s agent has also hinted in the past that some top European giants want to acquire his client’s services.
Manchester United are in dire need of someone with Gaitan’s caliber, as they just haven’t been able to maintain their momentum during the course of the campaign.

End forever.
With United hot on his trail, Gaitan admits that it has caused him to swell with pride.
"Ever since the pre-season, it has been said that Manchester United are following me. Then, Benfica met United in the Champions League group stage and I did not expect that Ferguson would talk about me before and after the game."
"He said Benfica had good players and named me, which is something that makes me very happy. I did not expect to be praised by a coach like him, we all know what he represents in football. I am proud that one of the best clubs in the world want me, but I
am only thinking about Benfica," he said.
With Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson short of options in the centre of the park, a move for Nicolas Gaitan seems like a real possibility and it will undoubtedly thrill the player if it goes through.
