Nani and Rooney will be re-united. ManUtd

Former Manchester United teammates Wayne Rooney and Luis Nani will be reunited as their respective MLS sides clash this Sunday.

Nani, who moved to Orlando City at the start of the current MLS season, contacted Rooney via Twitter, saying that he would be "reunited with a long time friend".

Rooney replied, saying "see you Sunday mate". The pair played together at Old Trafford between 2007 and 2014, and were two of Manchester United's best attackers following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009.

Their most famous bit of on-field link-up play came in 2011, when Nani provided the assist for Wayne Rooney to score one of the most famous bicycle kicks of all time.

Both have moved onto pastures new, however, and now ply their trade in America with Orlando City and DC United.
