Nani is expected to pay the price for his poor performance in Monday’s 1-0 defeat at Everton according to the Sun.
Not only will Nani be dropped against Fulham this weekend, but he can also forget about a new contract, or being allowed to leave on the cheap according to the Sun.
A United source said the newspaper:
“The club did not think his form at the end of last season put him in a very strong bargaining position over a new deal. Monday was hardly his best either.”
Nani has become frustrated at the collapse of talks over a new four-year deal and the United source added:
“There was an intention to get him on a new four-year contract.
“But initial demands from Nani’s side were way over the top. Right now United are happy to leave it until next summer unless his demands are dramatically dropped. But they won’t sell unless silly money comes in.”
Nani has two years left on his £90,000-a-week deal but wants in excess of £130,000 a week.
Zenit St Petersburg are interested in the winger, but United will not consider selling unless they get an offer of more than £25million.

Actually, we are not amused with SAF. His form has been rubbish for a long time. His bizarre purchases last summer have resulted in humiliation on domestic and European fronts. He didn’t attempt to rectify it this summer too. He has no defence at all, Evans, Evra, Ferdinand, Rafael et el won’t get into any decent premier league team let alone City’s or Chelsea’s. But still he couldn’t buy anyone of note except now this guy called Buttner or something. And can someone tell us why he played Kagawa and Cleverley together? Two very similar players, both softies at that. No wonder Everton had a field day. I am shuddering at the thought of facing bigwigs like Swansea,Fulham, Wigan, Southampton etc ( No point thinking about City or Chelsea ).
I believe u better GO ELSEWHERE & SUPPORT THE BLUE ULCERS or GULAGS, u r poorly OBSSESSED with them anyway!!!
Hey u shut up…
Hey! Mate take it cool,SAF knows best,he’s bn there seen that & than that b4 Bsides d end justifies d means
The thing is united need a STRONG defensive midfield and even a defender if possible if not we will keep struggling
Sir alex please try and sign harera our midfield is not that strong at the morment,i think signing one more midfield will be ok for the team.
SAF pls i will really beg you get a DM someone like. Axel Witsel, Mutinho or if we can get kaka on loan it will be a great addition. I didn’t no much about herrera but if the guy can solve the problem pls let’s go for him. Scholes form is not like the one last season #GGMU
Saf we nid more defender cos dat is our main prob leave d attacker n milder elp us sign defender
SAF should sign a defensive midfield not just any midfield
Sir should stop all these check on worn out players lyk Nani,d main tyn na is to luk for a central defender,we r owk wif our mid wif d lyks of carrick though didn’t perform well due to d position he played bt pple lyk fletcher carrick jones amderson is very strong so if we train him to play jst defencive mid nd forget attack for kagawa clerverly Giggs nd scholes den u knw our prb is solved,our main prb is dt we need a central defender nt all dese mid we r signing.
SAF has refused to realize that Manchester United FC Weakest point is in the mid field. What ever happens, Man United not not match the likes of Man City, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Barcelona etc. In todays modern football we teams have to compete favourably.
Hey john,don’t criticise SAF,u cnt buy more defenders when u hav others recovering and moreover we hav options 2 use ther although nt 2 our expectations bt we cn stil use them in such a crisis players like carrick & valencia cn drop in defense,furthermore,the same midfielders u talked about played very well,they had good touches in the middle of the field despite lacking physical strength.
Aloysius, d guy is right. D current flop in d manu team is fergie. Who d fuck is evans, carrick, rafael, jones, ferdinand, evra. They cant get into bigger teams cos they r gone. Evra cant bench Cole/Clichy. Ferdinand and Jones cant bench Luiz/Kompany. Carrick compared 2 Toure, Mikel and Song is insane. D person shielding all these flops is Fergie. D man himself has 2 go. In my Football Manager 2012, of all d manu defenders, i only use Vidic. I replaced all d remaining.
pls sir by another one more player midfilder pls bt dnt sale luis nani pls
saf should not sell nani,he cn stil pick up his form.
United shouid not treat nani this way it is unfare,he doesn’t deserve.
Talkin about mondays game every body was the same out there,the hit should not be on only nani,every one should get there potion of the blame.
SAF, get 4 us kaka. We need natural in that mid field not gamblers. And stop pushing Valencia in the right back position get back ups where necesary. I knew from the begining against everton game that we were not going to win that game. SAF, get specialist in all the position stop gambling players… The transfer window is still open..
