Man Utd Transfer News: Zenit St Petersburg Make Nani Bid

Zenit St Petersburg have reportedly made a transfer offer for unsettled Manchester United winger Nani.

R-Sport, Zenit St Petersburg have made a transfer offer for unsettled Manchester United winger Nani. The Russian champions had confirmed their interest in the 25-year-old Portuguese international previously with Zenit coach Luciano Spalletti repeatedly announcing his desire to strengthen and naming Nani and Brazilian and FC Porto winger Hulk as being two players who he wanted to bring to the club before the Russian transfer window closes September 10. Nani has been reportedly unhappy at Manchester United and has already rejected a contract renewal. Red Devils boss Sir Alex Ferguson has just completed the signing of Robin van Persie and it looks like Nani could make way. Old Trafford is already home to wingers Ashley Young and Antonio Valenica who are major competition for Nani for the wide positions at the club. Nani has scored 36 goals in 195 appearances for the club and ever since he signed in 2007 from Sporting Lisbon he has been in the shadow of former United player Cristiano Ronaldo. Zenit have refused to comment on the situation and it is still unclear on how much the Russian club have offered for Nani although reports are it is in the region on £15 million.
