10 Players You Didn't Know Everton Almost Signed

6. Nani

Another United player linked with Everton, Nani is a slightly more audacious transfer acquisition than his team mate Wellbeck. Tipped to be the new Ronaldo at United, Nani has produced a few moments of magic, but hasn't been able to consistently terrorise Premier League full backs. Playing on Moyes and Ferguson's pally relationship, Everton were linked with the Portuguese winger in December 2012. A high wage bill and substantial transfer fee were probably too much for Everton to handle. Nani is still an enigma for United and it wouldn't come as a surprise should he leave Old Trafford this summer. Juventus have also been linked with the winger thus a move to Everton seems unlikely.
