Former Manchester United and Portugal winger Nani, on Sunday, announced his retirement from professional football.

The 38-year-old began his career at Sporting CP before he was signed by legendary former United boss Sir Alex Ferguson in 2007 and left to join Fenerbahçe on a permanent deal in 2015.

Nani played for 10 clubs in total during his 19-year career, plying his trade in countries like Turkey, Spain and the United States. He signed for Estrela Amadora – the team from the neighbourhood where he was born – at the start of 2024.

In a statement on his X handle, Nani said, “As everyone knows, everything comes to an end,

“I’ve taken the time to make a very important decision. Perhaps the most important decision of my professional life, which is the decision to stop playing as a professional player. I’m going to, as they say, hang up my boots. But I do so with a sense of duty fulfilled.
