Former Man United star Nani reunites with old boss Sir Alex Ferguson as they enjoy breakfast together in Portugal

Former Manchester United star Nani reunited with old manager Sir Alex Ferguson for a picturesque breakfast in Portugal.

A photo that will be sure to bring back fond memories for United fans, Nani shared a post on X of him and his former boss having a catch-up over coffee.

This comes just 10 days after the former Red Devil announced his retirement from football at the age of 38, hanging up his boots after enjoying a final spell at hometown club Estrela Amadora.

The post read: ‘Delicious breakfast – this time in Portugal – with the great and special company of Sir Alex Ferguson. Amazing time, great memories. See you again soon, Boss.’

Nani is most known for his time at Man United, earning cult hero status as part of Ferguson’s serial-winning team of the late 2000s.

Ferguson was the man to bring him Old Trafford, signing the winger from Sporting CP for a fee of £21million in June 2007.

The former Portuguese international went on to dazzle fans, earning a reputation as an outrageous trickster with a penchant for the occasional long-range screamer.

A staple of Ferguson’s later years, Nani scored 41 goals in 230 appearances for the club. 

He racked up his fair share of accolades in Manchester, winning the Champions League in his first season, plus four Premier League titles and two League Cups in eight campaigns.

He went back on loan to Sporting in the 2014/15 season before leaving United permanently for Fenerbahce the following year.
