Nani, where are you?

Nani playing for United in 12/13 season

Luis Nani reported to join Arsenal in the 2012 winter, but declined by Sir Alex and Arsene Wenger - Sir Alex says that he sent Nani to Dubai to enjoy himself while recovering from bad injury.

Luis Nani's career at Old Trafford since the start of the 12/13 season hasn't gone well. He played poorly in some of opening games, and some of fans were rushing him to quit from United. In fact, when this article was being written (6/1), Nani's last appearance was a 4-3 lost to Chelsea on Capital One Cup , 2-3 months ago.

Played brilliantly throughout 09/10, and 10/11 seasons, seems he has lost his touch. When 11/12 season kicks off, he started to lost his form, but still managed to play good. 09/10 season was his best season, so far. As Cristiano Ronaldo left United to join Real Madrid with transfer record fee, the winger job seems to be in vacancy - Nani takes it.

Managed to play very good during 09/10 season, he has the left-wing role on Sir Alex's starting 11. While right-wing is Valencia's, he still managed to impress the gaffer to keep him.

10/11 season was also good for him. Played more careful and more brilliant, Nani still on Fergie's mind. Do you remember 2-1 win vs City at Old Trafford? Well, let's say Nani was the man of the match that game. Scored a great goal after deceiving City's offside trap from Giggs' pass, then beat Hart. And he assisted the famous goal for Rooney's overhead kick volley. He was also played in the UEFA Champions League 2011 final, in a 3-1 lost vs Barcelona.

The arrival of Young makes Nani
 on the edge

As the arrival of Ashley Young from Aston Villa in the summer of 2011, Nani's role started to be in danger. The fight for a place down the wing started to heats up - as Ashley Young starts to give what he's got. Luckily for Nani, Ashley Young's first season for United was not good, and a place down the wing is still him. During 11/12 season, Nani's form not as good as he did in previous seasons. But yet, he still managed to did good. As a price, he called to play for Portugal in UEFA EURO 2012.

His interaction with manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, starts to heats up since EURO 2012. Nani claims that Sir Alex didnt called him during EURO 2012, he claimed that usually Sir Alex asking about how's his player going.

With his poor form during opening half of 12/13 season, and his bad thigh injury, Nani reported to join Arsenal. The news about his move to London giant made bigger when Nani came to his Girlfriend's son playing for Watford junior vs Arsenal junior in Arsenal training camp.

But then, Sir Alex declined the news about Nani to Arsenal by saying "why you waste talent Nani has?". Plus Arsene Wenger, which is Arsenal manager, also saying "We arent looking to rival's players". Means the question has answered, Nani wont leave United.

But, since his move from Sporting Lisbon back in 2008, Nani hasn't signed any new contract. His deal comes up to end by 2014, that means Nani has to resign to extend his United career. In 2012, United offered him a new contract, but Nani declined it because the wage not demands on him. News approaching now that Nani will take United new contract if they've meet the demands they're looking for.
