Former Manchester United winger Nani was renowned for his crazy somersault goal celebrations and recently stated that contrary to popular belief Sir Alex Ferguson did not have a problem with his flips.

Nani also revealed that he learned how to pull off 720 flips and the like while training in the martial art of Capueira as a kid.

“I did Capueira as a kid so have been able to jump and do flips from a young age it helped my physical development and is just something I do when I score goals,” Nani was quoted as saying on Fanatik.

“People jump to conclusions I did not do a flip once because I had a pain in my foot and they assumed it was because Alex Ferguson banned me but that is not the case he did not have a problem.”
