The winger has signed a three-year deal with the Turkish Super Lig outfit, with the club paying a €6 million (£4.2 million) fee for the former Sporting star, according to Goal.com.

This move brings an end to his Red Devils career, which showed so much promise early before fading in the latter years.

The 28-year-old signed a new deal with the Mancunians in 2013, but when former manager David Moyes was sacked, it quickly became clear the Portugal international's time at the club was all but over.

Louis van Gaal had no plans for Nani in his squad, and he ended up spending the 2014-15 campaign out on loan with Sporting Clube de Portugal.

Back with his old club, he showed flashes of the potential witnessed when he first joined United, scoring four goals in five Champions League matches, per WhoScored.com. Following a solid campaign for Sporting, there was always going to be interest from other clubs in the summer. Sky Sports reported Fenerbahce were the first club to approach the winger.

Indeed, as Nani arrived in Turkey to finalise his transfer, it was clear the club's fanatical supporters were delighted to have him, per Sky Sports News HQ:

Nani joined the Red Devils in 2007 and quickly established himself as a budding star, exciting the fans with his flair, dribbling skills and direct approach.

He took on more responsibility when Cristiano Ronaldo left the club for Real Madrid in 2009 and put together several memorable performances―running riot against Manchester City and Arsenal in 2010-11, for example, a campaign that ended with a spot in the Team of the Year―but somewhere along the way, he stopped growing as a player.

Injuries and inconsistency marred his final years with the club, and new manager Van Gaal never had any plans for Nani, electing to invest heavily in Angel Di Maria instead. Manchester Evening News' Samuel Luckhurst urged fans to remember his early years at the club with joy, however:

According to Sky Sports, Nani won four Premier League titles and a Champions League during his time at Old Trafford.

Nani's United story is one of unfulfilled promise, but the player showed enough during his one-year loan spell with Sporting to suggest he's far from finished.

Perhaps a move away from the high-pressure situation at United will see him blossom, and while he'll never become the world-class winger we once thought he would be, he could still have a wonderful career.

Fenerbahce could be the platform the Portuguese needs, too. They're a club that are regularly involved in European football's top competitions, and Nani's untamed ingenuity will ensure he continues to catch the eye in the iconic colours of the Turkish giants.
