Man Utd Transfers: 9 Players Louis Van Gaal Must Clear Out Immediately

2. Nani

It is sometimes scary to think that Nani joined United in 2007, where has the time gone? When he signed, the Portuguese international was billed as a star of the future, with many lauding Sir Alex Ferguson in his £17million purchase of the youngster. Nani is undoubtedly a player full of natural talent, but he has never really delivered for United. Between 2010 and 2012 it looked as though he had finally come of age. 20 goals in two seasons had fans believing that the loss of Ronaldo would not be felt, however they were wrong. In the following two seasons he managed just four goals. Nani may have signed a new five-year deal in September, but that was most likely to keep his transfer fee high. Juventus and other clubs are monitoring the 27-year-old, perhaps hopeful they can get the best out of him. They will have a tough task, if Sir Alex couldn€™t, few will be able to.
