Nani was one of the most prolific performers of his time. His time at both Manchester United and Portugal is still remembered as a golden memory. With 24 international goals for Portugal and 123 goals at the club level, Nani was a force to be reckoned with. His impeccable work ethic and skillful display made him one of the fiercest playmakers of the era. His ability to scan the football field to perfection is reflected in the fact that he has 141 assists to his name at the club level. Playing for Manchester United, Nani mesmerized fans with his skills, similar to the one we will discuss in today’s video.

Nani played in three European championships for Portugal(2008, 2012, and 2016). He was also a regular alongside the great Cristiano Ronaldo at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. Nani also guided Portugal in the 2016 Euro Cup finals to victory after CR7 pulled out due to an unfortunate injury. The star playmaker was on a song as he guided his team to victory. Recently, a video of Nani has resurfaced and fans are going gaga over it. 

Nani’s resurfaced FA Cup shenanigans going viral

The video was uploaded by Stop That Football on X, formerly known as Twitter. The clip was of the infamous match between Manchester United and Arsenal in the FA Cup back in 2008. The video is twenty- four seconds and we can see Nani toying with Arsenal. As the Portuguese winger received the ball, he controlled it with his head and went away for quite a distance. However, the most astonishing thing was that Nani did not let the ball touch the ground for once during this time! 

This insane display of ball control and skills amidst the match was not well received by the Gunners. As Justin Hoyte was utterly embarrassed, Mathieu Flamini made a wild challenge to put the ball out of play and, more importantly, stop the immaculate display. Manchester United played a sublime game that night, bagging a resounding 4-0 victory, leaving Arsenal with a significant scope for self-analysis.
