Man Utd face Melbourne Victory in pre-season and they will come up against a former favourite in the form of Luis Nani.

"I'm going to tell you the truth. The reason why I am going to play tonight is because my son told me, 'you need to play!', then after a couple of seconds he said 'no, don't play, that's my favourite team'. So I am going to play for him." "To tell you the truth, if you asked me yesterday, I would have said no," he told MUTV. "But with this beautiful environment, the excitement, yes I think a couple of minutes just to feel the atmosphere, play with new players, join the new side, so I want to play a little bit.

After a year on loan at Sporting Lisbon, Nani moved to Orlando City in the MLS. After an ovation from the entire stadium, Nani lined up in the centre forward position for a late cameo. A tricky winger capable of pulling off the sublime with either foot, Nani’s departure from the club was met with frustration from fans as Louis van Gaal took an axe to the squad in 2014.

“From what I have seen, the fans in Melbourne are not only the best in the league but they rival the atmosphere in Europe and I’m looking forward to being a part of that on the field in a Victory shirt and playing for them this season.” The winger played just once under Louis van Gaal - an appearance from the bench in the Dutchman's first Premier League game - before making a temporary and then permanent exit, but he still had his regrets five years on. However, Nani would eventually give his side of the story in 2019. While their time together in Manchester was a fruitful one, with back-to-back league titles and Champions League glory, Nani wasn't always on Ronaldo's good side.

Just seven years have passed since Nani left Old Trafford for good, but he's fit in a lot during that time.

Former Reds star Nani made his debut as Manchester United took down Melbourne Victory 4-1 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

And with the side set to take on fellow EPL outfit Crystal Palace back at the MCG on Tuesday, they’d be hopeful they can put on another show for the Australian United faithful. Their performance continuing a positive trend in which the Australian talent are holding their own against some of the world’s best. Martial would find the net minutes later with one of the last kicks of the half. And while the fans may not have gotten to see Ronaldo, the United squad certainly didn’t lack big names with boss Erik Ten Hag fielding a relatively strong side. And while Paul Izzo and the Victory’s defence did their best to keep United at bay, there was no stopping the two goals they’d concede nearing half time. Both sides putting in encouraging showings in front of a large crowd at the MCG.
