Man Utd's Nani hanging on phone for Zenit call

Manchester United winger Nani is sweating on a bid from Zenit St Petersburg today.

Nani faces an anxious wait to discover whether he will join Zenit in a £25million deal before the Russian transfer window closes on Thursday.

Big-spending Zenit this week stunned football by splashing out over £70m on Porto striker Hulk and Benfica midfielder Axel Witsel, and are eyeing one more big-money buy before the deadline.

Nani is currently with Portugal's squad in Praia Del Rey ahead of their World Cup qualifier in Luxembourg on Friday but a deal with Zenit could yet be completed, says the Daily Mail.

The Russian champions' boss Luciano Spalletti has been talking up his side's interest in Nani throughout the summer.
