Weird we let him go for a year then.According to Nani they still do want him for next season
According to that interview, Nani wanted to go on loan and said he would have found it hard to stay if he didnt. Which turns the whole story on its head. It makes it sound like Nani's morale wasnt good after his injuries and how he was being used in the squad and he wanted something like this loan back home and maybe after that the club still want him and he could have a fresh start with the new management. Who knows?Weird we let him go for a year then.
The 28-year-old feels that he has been reinvigorated by his loan spell at Sporting but has indicated that he still has a future under Louis van Gaal at Old Trafford
Nani believes he has been revitalised by his loan spell at Sporting but suggests he will be part of Manchester United’s first-team plans next season.
Goal reported exclusively in November that Louis van Gaal was exploring the possibility of recalling Nani, who moved to Portugal as part of United’s deal to sign Marcos Rojo in the summer.
United have been unable cut short Nani’s time at Sporting but the winger, who has scored seven goals in 17 appearances this season, insists his time in Portugal has been positive.
“I just need someone to believe in me, trust me and my qualities, and give me an opportunity to show them on the pitch,” Nani told BT Sport.
“It’s an experience I wanted a lot and needed as well because the last two seasons at Manchester United I had so many injuries and I was very upset with a lot of things that happened to me.
“I was missing my family and friends and I wanted something new. The only opportunity I had to be happy, and Manchester United to be happy as well, was this one.”
Asked if he held a grudge against Van Gaal for allowing him to leave, Nani replied: “No. Because the club know my value and I know they want me to stay.
“It was me who made the choice to leave the club and it was a good decision by me because I knew if I stayed one more season at Old Trafford, it would be very hard for me.”
Bit unfair that really, yes he made the pass but the defender made a very good interception, then did a great bit of skill to open up the defense. Apart from maybe hammering it at him harder there isn't much more he could have done, that's part of the risk of playing football from the back.Lost the ball badly for Wolfsburgs 1st goal tonight. A typical mistake for him to make in recent times which something he'll have to cut out his game if he wants to play for us again under Van Gaal. I don't think he's able to though, and I'll be surprised if he's still a United player come september.
Yep, like di Maria didn't lose the ball for burnleys goal goal last week or anything. Everything nani does has to fall under the microscope. Ridiculous really. Just read that ringos post too. Wonder if he rates di Maria who takes more daft shots than nani ever did.Lost the ball badly for Wolfsburgs 1st goal tonight.

He was in full control and under little pressure, he shouldn't lose the ball like that in his own half in transition. It's plain sloppy and careless and not at all unlike him.Bit unfair that really, yes he made the pass but the defender made a very good interception, then did a great bit of skill to open up the defense.

Haha i just came to post that, beat me to it, what a goal
Can you imagine Valencia doing that?
No. We will flog him for peanuts and persist with Young and Valencia.Do we take him back in the summer? For all his moments of brilliance, I can't forget how crap he was for the last two years. If he's rediscovered his form of past seasons, then he'd be better winger than anyone currently in our squad -- Di Maria included.
I'd definitely take him back. Thing is, would Van Gaal?Do we take him back in the summer? For all his moments of brilliance, I can't forget how crap he was for the last two years. If he's rediscovered his form of past seasons, then he'd be better winger than anyone currently in our squad -- Di Maria included.
Which is funny, since we just paid 60million pounds for someone who should be just that. Jury's still out, but it's odd that Di Maria isn't held to the same standards that Nani was on here...There is no-one in our present team who has the technical ability equal to Nani.
Yeah, probably. It's a shame because the Nani of 09/10-11/12 was as good a winger as anyone in the league. Had it all, could beat a player with ease, score goals, assist. A bit suspect defensively, but not something I cared about when he was on top form as he contributed immensely to our attack.No. We will flog him for peanuts and persist with Young and Valencia.
On paper it sounds bloody brilliant. On paper though.Thoughts of him on one wing and Di Maria/Depay? on the other. It could be devastating -- something we haven't had since Valencia regressed to his current rundownthechannelsandlashtheballatthedefender'sleg mode of play.
Great goal, but you dont get that kind of space in the prem. Look at how that midfielder just slows down and lets him have a shot! Ridiculous. Still, haven't seen Januzaj do anything like that this season so who knows, maybe he'll be back after all.
Nani's problem is that of consistency but at his best very few in the world can do what he can. I know I keep harping on his game against Bayern at OT a few years ago but in all my years I have seen very few performances in a Utd jersey equal to his that day.Which is funny, since we just paid 60million pounds for someone who should be just that. Jury's still out, but it's odd that Di Maria isn't held to the same standards that Nani was on here...
If it gets him back to his best and returns to the club in that form then its worth every penny.Great how we're paying all his wages for him to star for another team.
That's a point actually, has Valencia ever scored a stunning goal? You'd expect a flying winger to have at least one.Can you imagine Valencia doing that?
Yeah but you have players in your squad that not even in 1000 tries could do that.Cracking goal, but for everyone one of those that go in, Nani blasts ten other tries over the bar and into the gods. That's always been an issue with him.
