Man Utd Transfers: 7 Players Moyes Should Sell This Window
5. Nani
Age: 27 Nationality: Portuguese Joined United: June 2007 Another midfielder, you say? Well, that's where the problems are. Despite signing a new deal at United, the Portuguese international winger has never looked comfortable in the team this season, and despite appearing in 8 Premier League games this season, his star has been falling for a couple of years now. Having completely lost favour with Sir Alex Ferguson last term, the new contract seemed to signal that the 27-year-old was going to be an integral part of a Moyes resurgence at the famous Old Trafford club. Fast forward to January 2014, and Nani's hamstring injury is a convenient excuse for the winger not to be in the team nor to move at January, despite the fact he has only 1 full 90 minutes in the Premier League this season (an embarrassing 1-2 reverse to West Bromwich Albion at Old Trafford). He needs to be canned, and reasonably quickly, so David Moyes can rebuild the mess of a midfield left to him by Sir Alex.
