Agree, also for Modric to score an absolute worldie as well. Very sad.

Imagine Valencia versus Chillwell or in behind Ake.
Modric properly changed the game when he came on and ran the show.
Infuriating, I genuinely think we had a great chance of going onto win that season. Felt a lot of togetherness in that side.
Fergie was so unlucky in Europe at times, some proper unlucky eliminations, however I won't dispute that his two wins came with some luck too!
Very sad indeed.
Slightly off topic - I've been lurking here for years, and just wanted to say your username and tagline are brilliant!
Thanks
I was a big fan.
I remember during his lowest point under Fergie the boos started coming. Fergie was asked about Nani and he said " he's got a future here." Fergie always rated him.
He and Ronaldo were two of the best I've seen cutting in on their wrong foot and shooting. Such a skill destroys the confidence of a fullback.
Nani's dribbling style meant he could also beat a fullback from a standing start. This helped us so much when teams sat back.

Nani was class. Remember there were a lot of calls for his head on here going into the 09/10 winter window. He had a game against Hull in the late January where Rooney scored 4, where he was outstanding and then followed it up with a brilliant display at the Emirates, he was flying after that.
Even on Nani's worst days you could generally trust him to create one great goal scoring opportunity a game. He probably should have more assists than he does.
Yeah this is my take. Strangely, one of my first memories of Nani is that damn Carragher thug tackle on him.
Argh that fecking ref
I remember him being on corner duties and never beating the 1st man.
Yeah strange post. Broke his leg start of his 2nd season for us, he was player of the season the year after it and played with us for 10 overall.
Nani was immensely talented but erratic.
He started showing consistency eventually and was our best attacking option for a while along with Rooney. Then weirdly was underused after the signing of Ashley Young.

Yeah it was often brought up how his injury made him a lesser player, yet he had several very good seasons, post-injury.
Fantastic player when he was on it. Creative, skilful and explosive. It's easy to forget how good he was. When Ronaldo left it was widely thought he could step up and fill the gap, but he never quite did.
The major downside was his decision making, which was a flaw he could never quite fix. Could be absolutely infuriating at times.
If he was at United now he'd be an absolute superstar by current standards.
