Nani, top player. Scored some unforgettable goals & the best celebrations

[miamitten]

Nani in today’s United would be Pelé compared to the current crop.

[lukeoneill]

Miss Nani so much, for many years he was my favourite player, I just loved the way he played football man, quick, skillful and cud launch a rocket from almost anywhere, never saw him score a normal goal, they were ALL outrageous.

[cjsiege]

Nani was a baller think cause him and Ronaldo where similar players when they was younger he was always looked over as Ronaldo was the prince who became king but Nani was on smoke.

[KevinMcGee-qghm]

The young players were looked after and taken out of the firing line when they played badly because there were so many senior players who were winners to watch over them.

[ryanbale]

Criminally underrated. What United would do for a player like Nani now. They were truly spoilt back then.

Now they have Garnacho starting every game, a guy who can’t cross or shoot to save his life

[muhammedbaloglu]

Nani is an incredibly underrated player by both Sir Alex and United fans. He had it all.

[martinrooney]

Nani had that Ronaldo/Quaresma style of play

[ha]

Everyone's eyes were on Ronaldo in that team, I always forget how young and talented Nani was.

[evanevanevanevanevanevan]

Nani, one of the players that got me into soccer. Along with Ronaldo. Underrated by so many 😢

[brandonmcnamara]

Nani
For United
Was Ronaldo for us, when Ronaldo left
Respect 💯

[kingtchala]

21yrs old, taking a penalty in the champions league final. Coming off the back of a good first season at United.

Maybe now some of you will understand why some of us don’t care too much about a Garnacho.

This was a real young talent.

[virgil]

usually players that come on just for penalties always miss idk just bad omen around it but nani is a world class player

[GrizZLyGuy]

I remember ppl clowning Nani back in the day. Calling him a rebore Ronaldo (poor mans cr7 if you’re not from London)…but now we got Garnacho 😢

[dripdrop]

Nani was older generation equivalent to like Rodrygo right now in footbal. Very underrated but always came clutch when needed to.

[rafye]

It wasn't these kids, Nani was different.. simple.. he is behind Ronaldo, the most enjoyable player to watch in that time..

[bigrandomun]

Nani in today’s game would’ve been even better. A showman with good quality in the final third, can play on both wings with an excellent mentality and mindset at the age of 21.

[reehatyonin]

"Nani ! You never gonna take penalty again !!" 😂😂😂

[leirsdeirs]

Nani walks into every premier league team today

[yan.weather]

Nani is the original Raphina. That’s my hot take
