2 days. That's the time Fergie took to seal the fate of Nani. Recently, Nani had a stupid public outburst against Sir Alex Ferguson and it is rumoured that the Portuguese may be on his way to Italy.
The Portuguese winger did not mince his words in an interview with a newspaper and that has probably left Ferguson furious. The United boss is already facing some serious issues that include
a). Losing the top spot with defeats at Liverpool & Chelsea
b). Injuries to center backs - Vidic & Ferdinand
c). Touchline ban following the Alan Wiley episode.
Nani had expressed his displeasure at the situation in Old Trafford due to his lack of chances and even went on to say that Sir Alex Ferguson has destroyed his career. He said,
Ferguson is a very complicated man. He's tough. If things are all right, then they are all right. But when he thinks something is wrong, everything is screwed. He can go from complimenting you to just plain trashing you in a matter of minutes. Has it happened to me? Hell, yes! He'll say 'Nani, how could you miss this or this'?
He shouts at players in front of everyone. No one escapes, everybody is the same. Giggs and Neville suffer most, because they have more experience. It is 'F**k' here and 'F**k' there.
In spite of knowing this was not the right time, Nani let out his frustration in public and criticized the most decorated football manager. Duh. I think Nani was insane. He could have talked with Fergie in private. Was he trying to emulate Carlos Tevez?
Well, if that was the case, then just like Tevez was shipped to City, Nani might be on his way to Italy. Juventus and AC Milan have allegedly shown interest in the winger and a transfer may be on the cards when the January window opens.
Nobody has ever escaped unhurt after messing with Fergie. Jaap Stam, David Beckham, Fabian Barthez and Roy Keane are some famous examples who were shown the exit doors at Old Trafford after their bust up with Fergie.
And to be honest, Nani has not really lived up to the hype when he arrived. If we leave aside his somersaults, Nani has struggled with his performances. Even after the departure of CR7, he has not been able to command a regular place in the starting eleven, scoring just one goal against his name this season.
Good Bye Nani. You don't deserve to play for United. Maybe you should skip the flight and use your somersaults while moving from England to Italy because that's the only thing you are good at.
