Man Utd Transfers: 5 Summer Replacements For Nani

by Joseph Dempsey

£25.5 million in 2007, Luis Nani has very rarely looked like living up to his price tag at Old Trafford. At times capable of sheer brilliance, be it through quick-footed trickery or the occasional thunderbolt drive from 30 yards out to beat a dismayed goalkeeper, he is equally as capable of courting frustration with his over-elaborate control of the ball, penchant for poor set pieces and occasional arrogance in shooting from far out when teammates are available in better positions. This season has been one to forget for the Portuguese star, who for so long failed to step out of the looming shadow of fellow countryman Cristiano Ronaldo during his playing days in Manchester.

The question now, is, should United sell Nani, who will replace him? Here, we analyse 5 wingers who could replace Luis Nani. Click "Next" to begin.
