My favourite United player at the time. Loved watching him.
Likewise. Thought this is another last ditch signing effort.Thought this was in the transfer forum for a second

I can picture it. Years from now. Rasfhord and Pogba on the JLingz podcast just having a dance off!
kids were men back then.
these players can look back at their careers, feel proud and laugh about moments like this. No shame.
our current players on the other hand…
Such a shame for Nani that we got knocked out in that game. Genuinely one of the best performances I've ever seen from a United player, was a 1 man attack when we went down to 10. All somewhat forgotten because of the result though!Stick Nani up front like when we were down to 10 men against Bayern
Absolute magician. Treated really poorly here.
Man he was so good.
He never really developed on his decision making and was very frustrating as a player.Absolute magician. Treated really poorly here.
I think him being shoehorned onto the left wing played into that to accomodate Valencia. I feel he just played there because he could, not because it suited him. That one period where he had an extended run on the right, he was one of the best wingers in the league and probably our best player along with Rooney iirc.He never really developed on his decision making and was very frustrating as a player.
I did think we were due an upgrade but the sad part is when Nani departed, worse crap replaced him
Some players should be allowed to try the audacious. His technical ability was top level. He was world class consistently on the right. We shunted him to the left for Valencia, FFS. Had little to no leash with SAF either it seemed. With more confidence in his position in the team we would’ve seen much more from him IMO.He never really developed on his decision making and was very frustrating as a player.

Have to disagree on the due an upgrade. He got much better with his decision making a season or so in to his United career. Lets not forget he was the best right winger in the premiership for a time. I remember seeing games where he outshone Ronaldo, having them on either wing both footed, able to swap wings mid game was something special. I can't think of anyone around at that time that would have been an upgrade on Nani, with the exception of Ribery.He never really developed on his decision making and was very frustrating as a player.

Their best player by far that tournament despite Ronnie getting the award on rep.One of my favourite players. Could breeze past players at will.
And his decision making and all round play really improved - he was crucial for Portugal in their win in 2016. He was great in the final and held the ball up really well for Portugal.
Fergie always looked at Nani as the black sheep, he could never compare to his darling boy Ronaldo.He was always compared to Ronaldo which is never going to end well, but he could be great at times. Good player on his day.
10-11 season nani was unplayable and probably a top 3 winger in the world. He carried that form into 11-12 as wellFergie always looked at Nani as the black sheep, he could never compare to his darling boy Ronaldo.
It's sad but true. I think if we never signed Ronaldo, Nani would have been given WAY more love. The 10/11 season he was truly world class.
Loved that season. Ronaldo long gone, Rooney taking a backseat (on the pitch anyway), Berbatov & Nani at the peaks of their powers, VDS' last hurrah, Vidic's last healthy season. Plus City was clearly on the rise but at that time we didn't know how devastatingly obnoxious & successful they'd become.10-11 season nani was unplayable and probably a top 3 winger in the world.

Liverpool 15 years ago had just lost a Champions League final so no, Liverpool are like Liverpool 15 years agoGreat to listen to these two.
Damn, we're like Liverpool 15 years ago, aren't we?
