Nani sends classy message to Erik ten Hag after receiving special gift from Man Utd

Former Manchester United winger Nani had kind words for Erik ten Hag as he urged the Dutchman to end the club's wait for "the trophies we are missing so much".

The Red Devils' friendly at Melbourne Victory on Friday - which ended in a 4-1 win for the visitors - was a special one for Nani, as he signed for the Australian club just three days earlier. The former Portugal international, 35, came off the bench to make his non-competitive debut for Melbourne, playing the final two minutes.

Ahead of the match, there was a touching moment as Nani was presented with a 2022/23 United shirt bearing his name and the No. 17 - the same digits he had in the Old Trafford dressing room. He was a popular figure throughout his seven years with the club, during which he made 230 appearances and won seven major honours, including four Premier League titles and the Champions League.
