Luis Nani has named former team-mate United Cristiano Ronaldo in his dream five-a-side team and jokingly said he taught him everything.
The winger’s selection for his fantasy squad – named on a video on the Major League Soccer Instagram account – had three players with whom he shared the Red devils dressing room.
Nani named Spanish player David de Gea in goal and Scholes among his outfield picks, with Deco, Bruno Alves and Ronaldo completing his line-up.
On Ronaldo – who like Nani, also moved to the theatre of dreams from Sporting Lisbon – he said, with tongue in cheek: “Cristiano Ronaldo with all these skills, the fast feet, he learned a lot from me in the youth. He knows, he knows.”
Continuing the very informal theme, Nani spoke on his goalkeeper selection: “David de Gea is in goal, a very good player and one of the best in the world but he must bring his glasses with him because he can’t see anything without them.”
However when completing his selection, he played a somewhat straighter bat when it came to assessing the skills of the fifth player of the team.
“Paul Scholes,” he said. “great control of the ball and great vision.”
