Nani is most known for his time in Manchester, making 230 appearances for the Red Devils, scoring 41 times and providing 71 assists in all competitions.

The spellbinding winger won nearly everything while at Old Trafford, playing a key role in one of Sir Alex Ferguson's final golden era in charge of United.

In just his first season at the club, he got his hands on both the Premier League and the Champions League.

Three more league titles followed, as well as two League Cups, and a Club World Cup.

Nani's time at United came to an end in 2015, although his final season at the club was spent on loan at the side he was signed from, Sporting CP.

The Portuguese player has been to his fair share of clubs since departing Old Trafford, seven to be precise, including Fenerbahce, Valencia, and Lazio.
