Ex-Man Utd star Nani, 35, joins Serie A battlers Venezia who label him ‘one of most talented wingers of his generation’

FORMER MANCHESTER UNITED star Nani has joined Serie A side Venezia on an 18-month deal.
And the Italian outfit labelled the 35-year-old 'one of the best wingers of his generation'.
Nani has signed for Serie A strugglers Venezia
He played 230 times for United between 2007 and 2015.
And despite his 41 goals and 73 assists in that time, the 'best winger of a generation' tag might be a little over the top.
Venezia are 17th in Serie A and just a point outside the relegation zone.
And a club statement read: "Nani joins Venezia FC.
"One of the most talented wingers of his generation.
"He has honors including a European Championship, a Champions League, four Premier League titles, and three Portuguese Cups.
"Nani signs through 2022-23."
And Nani wrote in Instagram: "I am really happy to have signed for @veneziafc!
"It's great to be part of this impressive project in such a beautiful city.
"It's time to get to work and give 100 per cent for the team and all the fans.
"Andiamo!"
Nani signed for United from Sporting Lisbon and had a short spell back with the Portuguese side before he left Old Trafford permanently for Fenerbahce in 2015.
He has since played for Valencia, Lazio and Orlando in the MLS.
