Nani sets up camp in the shadows of Ryan Giggs

Lately i’ve been reading a lot about ‘Prince Nani’ and how he has pretty much set up camp in the shadows of one, Ryan Giggs since coming to Old Trafford last year.

Let me start by saying that I do not care for the lad at all.  Many may strongly disagree with me, however I stick to my guns and say that Sir Alex should really consider sending him elsewhere.  After all, many Premiere League teams would probably jump at the chance to sign Nani, (especially money bags, Manchester City).

I can not quite put my finger on what it is exactly that makes me despise Mr. Luís Carlos Almeida da Cunha (Nani).  Maybe the fact that he was signed to support Fergie’s attacking midfield, and has only 5 goals since 2007.  Now this may seem like a lot for a player who gets very little playing time, however consider the amount of shots per game that go astray from the young Portuguese winger.

No doubt that Nani has sublime ball handling skills, but the general Man Utd player characteristics just doesn’t seem to fit Nani.  I’ve said this before and I will continue to say it regardless of the disagreements that arise: Nani is consistently one of the worst corner takers I have ever seen for a major, champion-status club.
