Nani: Ronaldo Learned A Lot From Me At Man Utd, All His Skills, His Fast Feet

Nani has named former team-mate
Cristiano Ronaldo in his dream five-a-side team and jokingly claimed to
have taught him everything.

The
Portuguese winger’s selection for his fantasy squad – named on a video
on the Major League Soccer Instagram account – included three players
with whom he shared the Manchester United dressing room.

Nani
named David de Gea in goal and Paul Scholes among his outfield picks,
with fellow countrymen Deco, Bruno Alves and Ronaldo completing the
line-up.

On Ronaldo – who like Nani, also moved to United
from Sporting Lisbon – he said, with tongue firmly in cheek: “Cristiano
Ronaldo with all these skills, the fast feet, he learned a lot from me
in the youth. He knows, he knows.”

Continuing
the very informal theme, Nani said of his goalkeeper selection: “David
de Gea is in goal, a very good player and one of the best in the world
but he must bring his glasses with him because he can’t see anything
without them.”

But when completing his selection, he played a
somewhat straighter bat when it came to assessing the skills of the
fifth member of the team.

“Paul Scholes,” he said. “great control of the ball and great vision.”
