Nani set to return to Man United after his loan has ended
Posted Sunday, March 29, 2015 by squawka.com
Nani is reportedly set for a return to Man United from Sporting Lisbon at the end of the current season, reports TuttoMercatoWeb.
It is a remarkable turnaround considering that the Red Devils were struggling to offload the winger before the beginning of this campaign, and the Portugal international only joined Sporting Lisbon on the condition that Man United paid his wages, which came to £4.8 million for the entire duration (via BBCSport).
However, since arriving back at the club where he made his name, Nani has been in some of the best form of his career.
The 28-year-old managed to score four goals in the Portuguese side's Champions League campaign but was unable to prevent them from finishing third in their group (which contained Schalke and Chelsea) and thus going into the Europa League.
And now it has been reported by the Italian outlet that Sporting Lisbon are already looking for a replacement for Nani who set to return to Old Trafford when his loan expires.
TuttoMercatoWeb report the Red Devils might still be keen to sell Nani - since his stock has improved - but Sporting Lisbon understand they don't have the funds to bring the player back on a permanent basis.
Nani created seven chances in two Europa League appearances - the most of any Sporting player.
