Nani
| Born | 17 November 1986, Praia, Cape Verde |
| Nationality | Portuguese |
| Weight | 66 kg |
| Height | 1.75 m |
| Position | Midfielder |
Full name is: Luis Carlos Almeida da Cunha.
Nani joined Manchester United in July 2007 with a five-year contract along with Anderson to counter Chelsea's strength in the transfer market by investing in youth.
Unfairly compared with compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo, Nani initially found it hard to display any consistency despite possessing a powerful shot and excellent dribbling skills.
His contract was extended to June 2014 in March 2010.
