He is the only skillful player that motivated me to join Man United but on reaching Here Man United sold Him and left Antony for us’: Andre Onana said player Man United sold for cheap fee last summer is the most skillful player He has ever seen
Manchester United have had some incredibly skilful players over the years.
From stepover king Cristiano Ronaldo to the current showboater in the squad, Antony, Manchester United have always had a few players who, for better or worse, loved a trick or two.
Andre Onana has attempted to build his perfect Manchester United player from a number of attributes on the club’s TikTok page, and when it came to skills, he chose a true trickster.
Indeed, Onana picked Nani in the skills category, claiming that the Portuguese ace had amazing tricks during his time at Old Trafford.
Nani was so skilful
The goalkeeper took part in a TikTok challenge and picked a category for Nani to fit into.
‘Skills, amazing,” Onana said.
Still doing it
Nani was a proper fan favourite at Man United before his departure for £4m in 2015.
Despite the fact it’s been almost 10 years since Nani left the club, the winger is still doing the business at quite a high level.
Indeed, Nani is still playing in the Turkish League for Adana Demirspor, and while he may not be as quick as he once was at the age of 37, he’s just as cheeky, and just as tricky.
Nani was a rather inconsistent player at United, sometimes he’d look like a world-beater, and at other times he’d try to do way too much on the ball to the detriment of the team.
Regardless of how well he would actually play, Nani always provided a lot of entertainment value for the Old Trafford faithful, and he remains a cult hero at the club to this day.
Nani didn’t live up to the billing as Cristiano Ronaldo’s replacement all those years ago, but he did forge his own legacy and he’ll always be fondly remembered by United fans who lived through that latter-day Alex Ferguson era.
