I'm sure Nani would relish the chance of constant first team action and is a similar style of player to Ronaldo.
The impression i get is that he wants to play in Spain....it's probably hard for us as Brits to understand why he wants to go there instead of playing in the PL, but for him growing up in Portugal i bet Spanish football was all he watched as a kid, it's closer to home and i guess the language culture is much easier than over here.
He doesn't strike me as being the most loyal of people tbh.
If i were United i'd cash in 100%...he's going to another league and you'll get a massive fee for him.
I'd be much happier to see a top player at LFC go abroad than to a direct rival.
