The former Manchester United winger Luis Nani has predicted that his Portuguese compatriot Jose Mourinho will bring an abundance of trophies back to the club.

Nani left United two years ago, initially on loan to Sporting Lisbon and now on a permanent deal to Turkish side Fenerbache.

He said of Mourinho: “He is a fantastic manager – the best in the world in the last years. He does well in England in the past. We know he can always produce something at every team he goes to and we hope he will help Manchester United to win titles again.”

The 29-year-old cited his former teammate Wayne Rooney and Liverpool’s Daniel Sturridge as England’s prime threats at the European Championships, which begins on Friday

“I played with him for many years so I know what Wayne can do on the pitch,” Nani said. “I saw him ply on the left wing, the right wing, striker. I saw him a little bit more down in midfield. I am not surprised to see him more in midfield. He has a lot of qualities. It is different to midfield than to play striker but of course he is a great player and any time he can do something great for England.”
