Ferdinand tribute to Nani after Man Utd sale

Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand insists Nani can be proud of his Old Trafford career.

Nani signed for Fenerbahce yesterday.

“Questions will be asked whether he will be happy with his utd [sic] career," Ferdinand wrote on Facebook.

“Of course he will be happy.. endless amount of trophies where he played his part.. However, knowing Nani as I do, I do believe he would have wanted more games & to have influenced more consistently during his United tenure!

“He was blessed with lots of attributes, having the tools to match most in the world - pace, power in both feet, skill, strength...I could go on. Its one thing having all that it's another putting it all together....week in week out.

"Of all the players I've played with during my career, if I wanted someone to beat someone 1 vs 1 & it was do or die he would have been one of my first picks for sure. He can go either way, off either foot, tricky & lightening quick - a defenders nightmare."
