Melbourne Victory have signed former Manchester United winger Nani for the 2022-23 A-League Men’s season. The 35-year-old spent eight years at Old Trafford, winning the 2008 Uefa Champions League title as well as four English Premier League crowns and four FA Cups.Nani has made 112 appearances for Portugal and was a member of his country’s 2016 European Championships victory alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.
Nani’s arrival comes a day after Victory announced New Zealand international Marco Rojas had left the club to pursue an overseas opportunity. Nani is Victory’s seventh signing for the upcoming campaign, with former Socceroo Tomi Juric and goalkeeper Paul Izzo among those to have joined Tony Popovic’s team.
