# Manchester United man to return to Old Trafford on astonishing £110,000-a-week

[![nani sporting](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/nani-sporting-500x358.jpg)](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/nani-sporting.jpg?admin)Manchester United fans in the Football Transfer Tavern are amazed at the money they are paying their loaned out star, after the [Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/manchester-uniteds-nani-facing-years-5693116#) revealed Nani is returning to Old Trafford as the highest-paid reserve in the Premier League.

The winger has managed to turn around his career at Sporting Lisbon and it is expected Louis van Gaal is going to give him a chance because the Portuguese club cannot afford his wages.

This is not a surprise because United agreed to fund his £110,000-a-week deal whilst he was on loan, which allowed Marcos Rojo to move the other way for £16m last summer.

Not only are Lisbon miles away from funding his contract but there is no way they could also cough up the £12m to sign him permanently.

Nani, 28, will now leave the Red Devils with a £17m bill for the remainder of his contract – after David Moyes handed him a five year deal in 2013.

This leaves United slightly over crowded in the winger department with Ashley Young, Antonio Valencia, Angel Di Maria and Adnan Januzaj, plus new £25m signing Memphis Depay, already at his disposal.
