Portuguese, now 33, spent eight United seasons between 2007 and 2015, then moving to the team where Ronaldo took his first steps as footballers, Sporting C.P.

Nani has won four Premier League trophies and a League Champions League in United City making over 200 presentations, until Ronaldo left for Real two seasons after Nani moved to England.

There was no shadow at that time, we had a fantastic team. I played with Ronaldo a lot of fights as a starter. Our team had two or three ways of playing and with different teams, they played Nan and Ronaldo, until with some others Ronaldo and Rooney”.
