Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has denied claims that the club is in talks with Manchester City over a swap deal that would see Leroy Sane join them and David Alaba move to the Premier League champions.
When Manchester United signed Luis Nani in the summer of 2007, so much was expected from the Portuguese, as immediate comparison started with fellow countryman, Cristiano Ronaldo. His case was a curious case of ‘what if’ transpires when reminiscing on a career that promised so much but effectively fell off the wheels.
He finally left Manchester United in the summer of 2015, and he has since represented several clubs around Europe, earning the tag of a journeyman in the process. Since leaving Old Trafford in the summer of 2015, he has gone to Portugal with Sporting, Turkey with Fernabache, Spain with Valencia, another stop in Italy with Rome base outfit, Lazio, he made it back to Portugal with Sporting for his third spell with the club before finally settling for Orlando City in America.

It is a welcome arrival, as Orlando just lost their best attacking midfielder, Yoshimar Yotun.

Continue readingCristiano Ronaldo continues to write new chapters in his career scoring the 700th goal of his career against Luxembourg. It was befitting that the Portuguese superstar would crown this milestone with a befitting chip in the second half of the 4-0 whitewash.
This milestone further draws him away from other Portuguese greats to have graced the game. The 34-year-old shows no signs of slowing down and continues to be the inspirational leader of the Portugal National team.
Continue readingIt seems Manchester United is quite interested to take up players from Portugal. Information is there that they are in talks with Bruno to join them very soon and they are sparked with excitement to get this talented footballer from Portugal for their club. The midfielder, known for his sporting nature might make a move to the side of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Before Bruno, the same turn came for Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Nani, when they got the chance to play for Manchester United club. They were selected by Sir Alex Ferguson to become a part of such an incredible legacy in the North West side of England when they were attacking players with no proof. But when they came and joined the club, they started to prove themselves in less time than the time spent by them in Old Trafford.
Luis Nani became an overnight sensation and a hero for Manchester United on his own power and right as he appeared in a total of 230 matches for the club and won 12 trophies for the same within a span of eight years. On the other hand, Cristiano Ronaldo would win almost everything that came his way and that was offered to him in Real Madrid before leaving. That made him easier to strengthen his name as one of the greatest players who have played some of the toughest games for the sport.
As for Fernandes, he feels that he should not be compared or treated as Ronaldo or Nani. He said he finds it difficult to define himself as a player because he shuffles between being a midfielder, a second striker, or even a playmaker. His major strength is versatility and he wants to maintain it. Bruno Fernandes wants to play for a position in which he is needed the most or one which is useful for the game.
Man Utd. needs to make small improvements to their frame of mind on the pitch in case that they are going to test for real distinctions sooner rather than later, as indicated by previous Red Devil Nani. United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will significantly redesign his squad this mid-year, with a huge number of players expected to leave the club. He will, in any case, face a troublesome errand to bring in top players to Old Trafford given the club’s absence in Champions League football.
Orlando City have been underwhelming in some seasons but have generally got it right with their Designated Players. Brazilian star Kaka had a decent spell at the club as a Designated Player.
While Orlando City is preparing for the season opener of MLS against NYCFC, the Lions hope that the 24th season of the league and the 5th is the one that will come to an end with the playoff picture. However, the target is at the top of the mountain for the side of James O’Connor as several steps have to be taken for making the post-season.
Luis Nani was able to leave his fans in Manchester City in awe which is something that does not happen often. He is known to be a forward with many skills and the total number of appearances he has made for the club has been 230. He has also won several trophies during this stint. Among them have been four titles of the Premier League. He has also been part of the success that the team brought in when they won the finals of the Champions League in the year 2008. Here he was able to succeed in a penalty shootout.
Luis Nani has worn the Manchester United jersey with some unforgettable victories made some explanations about their career. The Portuguese have had 47 official games in the 2015-16 season in his blue-yellow uniform. As a matter of fact, he scored 12 goals as assist goal performer.
