    Should Manchester United keep Nani? Pros, Cons, Videos & Statistics

    Nani- the 26-year-old who has never quite lived up to his promise. Dubbed the next Cristiano Ronaldo when arrived at Old Trafford, the Portuguese winger has had a mixed six years at the club.

    His performances contrast hugely, like most widemen, and have caused a lot of criticism from the fans. One game he can be the dynamic, explosive threat on the flank with his rapid pace and willingness to beat a man a major attribute of his.

    However, the following game he could turn up like a wet turd and have no impact on a game at all, and that's what's damaging his reputation. Granted, it is hard to be a world beater if you're not given a string of games, but Nani has had his chances throughout his Manchester United tenure.

    This season, Nani has appeared in 10 Premier League games. He has scored one goal, has a shot accuracy of 31%, he has created 10 chances for his teammates, and a pass accuracy of 80%.

    He has succeeded in seven of his eight attempted tackles, completed only eight of his attempted 17 take ons, and won a measly three of his 15 aerial duels.

    You can make your own minds up.
