Man Utd legend says Nani is a 'defenders nightmare'

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand stated that his former teammate Nani is a defenders nightmare and that he is one of the best dribblers of the ball he has ever played with.

Ferdinand described Nani as being a dual footed, lightening quick winger who will be of great service to Fenerbahçe.

Nani joined Fenerbahçe on a €6 million deal on Monday and signed a three-year contract at his signing ceremony held in front of thousands of fans at the Şükrü Saracoğlu stadium.

Ferdinand wrote the comments on his Facebook page: “Of all the players I’ve played with during my career, if I wanted someone to beat someone 1 vs 1 & it was do or die he would have been one of my first picks for sure. He can go either way, off either foot, tricky & lightening quick – a defenders nightmare!”
