It seemed as if this speedy winger was destined to be heading out of Manchester United after quotes attributed to him suggested he had criticised Old Trafford boss Sir Alex Ferguson early in the 2009-10 season, yet Nani bounced back from that episode to turn in some fine displays for club and country. Speedy and unpredictable, the lack of clarity in his game may be one of his best qualities. It often seems as if Nani is not sure what he will do next and if that is the case, his opponent has little hope of second guessing him. Trying to fill Cristiano Ronaldo's boots at United has proved impossible, but he had a good try in the second half of the last Premier League season, with a memorable performance againats Arsenal the highlight of his best campaign yet for United.
His two goals in the Champions League quarter-finals against Bayern Munich in April appeared to crown the revival in his fortunes at United, only for the German side to stun Old Trafford with two dramatic away goals to dump the 2008 European champions out of the competition.
Strengths: On top form, the Portuguese winger can be a nightmare for defenders. A bundle of pace and trickery, his ability to create and score spectacular goals makes him an important attacking outlet.
Weaknesses: Defensively weak and wasteful in possession, needs to understand that sometimes the simple pass or cross will do.
Career high: A 30-yard winner against Spurs in 2007 was his first goal for the club and lives long in the memory, but his performance against Arsenal at the Emirates in January 2010 was one of the best displays of individual attacking flair of the season.
Career low: Being ruled out of the 2010 World Cup with a shoulder injury three days before the opening match of the tournament.
Style: Pacy, skilful, creative; Nani is a devastatingly explosive winger with the ability to produce moments of magic.
Quotes: "Nani's got the potential to do what he wants. He's one of the sharpest players around, has a great strike with both feet - he's got the potential to be a top, top player." Rio Ferdinand praises his team-mate in May 2010..

Trivia: After coming on as a substitute for Wayne Rooney in the 2008 UEFA Champions League final, Nani scored Manchester United's crucial fifth penalty in the shoot-out.

Kia Joorabchian, Carlos Tevez's adviser, has admitted the Manchester United forward may have to move on from Old Trafford and has refused to rule out a move to Manchester City.

Joorabchian said that a contract offer from United has not been forthcoming and that Tevez will listen to offers from clubs who show the requisite ambition.

"There's a lot of interest but Carlos has always been very focused," Joorabchian told Sky Sports. "He wants to do the best he can. He will work his socks off and perform to the highest level until the end of the season."

Joorabchian would not be drawn on the list of clubs linked with the player — ranging from Manchester City to Liverpool to Milan — but did concede that "his preference is to stay in England". He said that Champions League football is not a deal-breaker, but that any potential club had to show "ambition, focus and want to be champions of England and champions of Europe".

"I don't want to direct, saying it's going to be Liverpool, City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Everton, Tottenham – whoever you can pick out – Milan, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus," he said. "The key is that at the present moment Carlos is a United player and he's focused on being a United player for the rest of the season."

Tevez's agent, Adrian Ruocco, has expressed his surprise at United's failure to offer his player a long-term deal.

"There was no will from the directors and the coach [Sir Alex Ferguson] to sign a new contract," he said. "On 31 May, he will have no club and no contract. I don't know why, but Manchester United have not asked for any renewal [of the loan] nor signing him for next season.

"The directors and the coach do not seem to want him, while on the other hand fans love him."
