Nani set for Old Trafford exit
View(s):Manchester United winger Nani looks set to leave Old Trafford next summer after manager Sir Alex Ferguson took him to task for throwing away his team’s Carling Cup tie at Chelsea on Wednesday night.
Nani’s future at United has been in some doubt since talks over a new contract collapsed during the summer.
And now the Portuguese winger has told friends that he feels there is little chance of a reconciliation after Ferguson blamed him for conceding possession in the run up to Chelsea’s equaliser in the last minute of normal time on Wednesday.
Ferguson was publicly critical of Nani for his error after the game, saying he should have run the ball to the corner flag. United – 3-2 up at the time – went on to lose 5-4 in extra-time.
Now a source close to Nani revealed: ‘There was an argument between Ferguson and Nani after the game.
‘Ferguson told him that losing the ball like that was an amateurish thing to do and that a really great player would never have done that.
‘Nani was already told that if he ever did it again then he would be on his way.’
It is understood that Nani has felt for some time that his place in Ferguson’s plans is under threat and has told friends that he expects to leave Old Trafford at the end of the season.
The official line from United is that the door is still open for the 25-year-old in terms of a new contract but not at the £130,000-a-week level he has been hoping for. Courtesy Daily Mail.
