Saturday’s 2-0 win over Fulham saw Nani’s assist count rise by another two to 18 as he set up Dimitar Berbatov and Antonio Valencia for relatively easy finishes, meaning he is now seven clear of Charlie Adam, who has the second most amount of assists with 11.
The wideman also has nine goals to his name in the league, more than any other winger this season, and his exclusion from the seven-man list came as a surprise to many.
Speaking to reporters, Nani said: "I think I have been doing well, so I am disappointed not to be there.
"But there's still a lot of work to do this season. I am strong and hope to focus on my improvements every season and I hope to have more opportunities.
"I don't like to speak about other players or people who make decisions. If I want to be there, I have to show that on the pitch.
"Of course, everyone has an opinion, and I hope next time people will look more to me and what I am doing, if I am doing well."
