Former Man Utd star Nani returns to his roots after signing for Estrela da Amadora

Portuguese winger Nani, Cristiano Ronaldo's friend and teammate at Sporting, Manchester United and the Portuguese national team, will play this season for Estrela Amadora in the Portuguese First Division, the team from the neighbourhood where the 37-year-old was born.

The signing, which has been speculated in recent days, has been announced in the last few hours by the Portuguese team on their social networks, where they have published a video interviewing the player himself.

The winger has signed a contract valid for one year and arrives with a record of one Champions League and four league titles with Manchester United, in addition to the Euro 2016 that he won with Portugal.
