Club: Manchester United Year: 2010/11 Brand: Nike Jersey Type: Home Size: S Player Name: Nani 17 Chest length (cm): 44Shirt length (cm): 76 History: After Cristiano Ronaldo left Old Trafford at the end of 2008/09, United looked to spread the goalscoring threat amongst three players signed to replace the goal output. The arrival of Michael Owen, Antonio Valencia and a punt of virtually unknown French winger Gabriel Obertan failed to replicate the goals. However, in the two seasons, the Portuguese winger signed from the same club as CR7 in the summer of 2007 viewed by United fans as nothing more than a sidekick to Ronaldo's greatness stepped up in a way that he was unfortunate to be excluded in the running for player of the season between 2009 - 2012. To the football purist, Nani was viewed as a complete footballer comparable to or better than his Portuguese brethren. A pacy winger in Ronaldo's mould, with bags of tricks and creativity, a good shot with either leg. Nani's proved his mettle in the 2008 Champions League final, in his first season in Manchester, Nani was subbed on in the 101th minute would take the fifth spot kick with the shootout hanging by a thread after the Ronaldo saw his effort saved. A miss and United would have lost the final, but Nani managed to put his shot just beyond Petr Cech who had guessed the right way. The 2010/11 season saw Nani snubbed for the PFA Player of the Year despite having his best season in a United shirt for the chances created while winning the Premier League contributing 9 goals & 14 assists in the league, bettering the winner of the award that season, Gareth Bale (7 goals & 1 assist).
