"Joao Palhinha is a great player. I played with him at Sporting, where he was growing and learning a lot. After a few years, he became one of the best players in his position, Nani said. He's very strong and talented at winning and recovering the ball, and tackling. He's also improved his forward play, scoring goals, connecting with the team, and moving forward with the ball."
"He had an opportunity with Bayern and we're not sure what will happen next season, but he's a player who can play for any team in the world. He just needs to be consistent and fit, as injuries sometimes cause problems. I trust he will have a fantastic career. He added: He is a player with energy, with power to recover balls and to fight, that is something that fits into Man United's DNA."
Former Manchester United winger Nani urged Manchester United to sign Joao Palhinha, describing him as a complete midfielder who fits United's DNA. Palhinha is currently on loan at Tottenham from Bayern Munich and previously excelled in the Premier League with Fulham and at Sporting Lisbon. Nani highlighted Palhinha's strength, ball-winning, tackling, improved forward play, goal threat, teamwork and energy. Nani noted Palhinha can play for any top club but needs consistency and fitness because of past injuries. Manchester United have other midfield targets and a move for Palhinha remains uncertain.
