Nani Manchester United Acrobatisc Style Sport

Luís Carlos Almeida da Cunha born 17 November 1986, commonly known as Nani, is a Portuguese footballer currently playing as a winger for English club Manchester United in the Premier League and the Portugal national team. Although predominantly right-footed, he has been utilised on the left-wing on many occasions and was compared to compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo during his move to England.

Poor Nani, the brilliant Portuguese winger who is trying to bring a few rays of Cape Verde sunshine to a cold, grey and increasingly Prussian Premiership winter. Sadly for him and for us, his amazing agility and old fashioned, Brazilian-style flair is meeting only gruff disapproval from on high. Arsenal certainly didn’t like it, but then they don’t like anything when things are going against them. But that doesn’t stop them rubbing the noses of their opponents in the dirt whenever they score a goal.
