NANI SAYS HE has been revitalised by his loan spell at Sporting and believes he will be part of Manchester United’s first-team plans next season.
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.”
Imagine him in a 3-5-2, all that tracking back he wouldn’t do
Imagine no 3-5-2
If he is playing well at Sporting and will make an impact if he comes back then yes we will have him.
If a player is sent out on loan at 27 when a teams in transition and in need of players,then he’s not part of the managers plans now and never will be. utd are also paying his wages which just goes to show how desperate they are to offload him.
They are paying his wages as part of the deal for Rojo
Yes that’s true,but the article is about him returning to utd,utd don’t want him and can’t seem to sell him,sporting can’t afford his wages,so instead of utd paying an extra 5 million euros for Rojo they offered nani,he,ll be back at utd in the summer as part of the deal and they will try to sell him again.
Please…. No…..
Could he be any worse than Young, Valencia, Rafeal, JJ!
Ah now, young andValencia have been brilliant under LVG. Silva has been out injured not his fault.
He Prob be offered to Everton for one of wanted men in that squad only way I can see him back playing in the EPL
