Inspiration taken from Cristiano Ronaldo? Ex-Man Utd star Nani comes out of retirement at 39 to join shock new club

Nani became a cult hero at United after joining the club from Sporting CP in 2007, recording 106 goal involvements in 230 appearances to help the club win four Premier League titles, the Champions League and two League Cups. He left the club in 2015 and went on to enjoy spells at Fenerbahce, Valencia, Lazio, Orlando City, Venezia, Melbourne Victory and Adana Demirspor.

Incredibly, he won’t be the only former Premier League star starring in Kazakhstan’s top division when the new season kicks off. Former Chelsea winger Victor Moses, who was released by Luton last summer, has just completed a move to FC Kaysar.
