Nani Football is the ultimate fan site for the young Portuguese football star Luís Carlos Almeida da Cunha, best known as Nani. The young player signed for Manchester United this season for a reported fee of £14.5 million from Sporting Lisbon. He follows in the footsteps of new team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo who signed from Lisbon in 2003. He plays as a winger and has already featured for Man Utd a number of times this season, scoring the winning goal against Spurs.

“At the start, it was quite hard and I didn’t speak English at all. But when I didn’t understand something, he could tell me what has been said.
“I am very good friends with Cristiano and have been for a long time. But the entire squad gets on and now, I speak a little bit of English, we joke all the time.”

Filed Under Premiership | 5 Comments
Nani scored an amazing 30 yard strike and set another up for Rooney as Manchester Utd win 4-1 against Middlesbrough. This is the 4th game in a row that Utd have scored 4 goals and they look on top form. The Rooney-Tevez partnership is developing very well, with both on the score sheet. Rooney scoring 1 and Tevez getting 2.
Nani now has 2 goals and 3 assists in the premiership. Both the goals have been stunning long range strikes. We look forward to more in the future.
