Luís Carlos Almeida da Cunha, or more simply known as "Nani" is another product of the Sporting Clube de Portugal Academy. Born in Amadora, Portugal on 1986-11-17, Nani has quickly moved up the ranks at Sporting and has become a regular member of their squad. He has been tipped for his dribbling abilities which resemble those of Cristiano Ronaldo or Ricardo Quaresma (both of which also came from the Sporting Academy). Nani has 6 goals in the 2005/2006 season ( 5 league goals and 1 cup goal ). Though he has proven himself to be a very talented player he has yet to become a regular starter and usually is a substitute for Carlos Martins in the 60th minute and plays on the Right Wing. Nani has only been called up to the Portuguese Under-21 squad a few times so far, but in the U-21 European Championship later this May, he is sure to make a regular appearance. Nani has signed a contract with sporting till 2010 and looks to have a very positive furture ahead of him.
I think it is copy from other site, but i cannot found it by Web searching. Matthew hk 13:51, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
I know that he grew up in Lisbon, but I heard in a few interviews and commentaries that he was born in Cape Verde. The only thing is that these commentaries are in Portuguese and I'm not sure if in game commentary is something to be cited, plus it would be helpful if any Portuguese speakers can back that up, because my Portuguese isn't perfect. thanks

Major source all state that he is born in Lisbon, but i also agree that he was from Cape Verde in young Age. Matthew_hk t c 01:37, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
The article says "Nani was born in Portugal, when his family migrated to Portugal." It seems as if they meant to say something else, i suggested before that he's from Cape Verde. I think that's what the author meant.
He was born in Amadora. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.102.206.106 ( talk) 07:08, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
29 goals in 5 caps? Very good indeed.
He won't be given the no. 18 shirt at United as that belongs to Paul Scholes (he scores goals).
And when saying he'll be given no. 17 in the current article, the phrase "nice and dandi" doesn't seem very encyclopedic to me. signed Barnjo 09:30, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
why is there more information in the manchester united section than in the sporting section. he hasnt started his contract yet. more research on his career at sporting please.-- Numberwang 22:32, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
On the skysports website Nani is already listed as part of Manchester United's squad 18/06/07
Pictures have now been released of Nani posing in the United strip and signing the contract with David Gill. He is now officially a United player. Check Gettyimages.
here you go http://editorial.gettyimages.com/Search/Search.aspx 86.14.246.217 21:44, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
He's as much a United player as Gareth Bale and Darren Bent are Spurs players. He has signed a five-year deal with the club. Sporting are already spending the transfer fee. It's done.
probably those pictures of him being photographed with david gill signing a contract while wearing a man utd shirt.
True, although I have never in my life seen a player sign a contract, take photos in the shirt and then the deal not go through.
Can his club name be changed to 'Manchester United' in the fact box on the right? Don't know how 'Juventus' got approved! Anubhav Mishra ( talk) 04:47, 12 May 2013 (UTC)Anubhav 12:47 SGT 12.05.2013
Wouldn't this article be better placed at "Luis Carlos Almeida da Cunha"? "Nani (footballer)" seems a bit too generic, and to title the article after his full name just seems more appropriate to me. - PeeJay 15:19, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

I'd take the Ronaldo comparison out. The likeness is purely based on them both being Portuguese and coming through the Sporting academy. They are actually quite different players, so comparing them in the first paragraph is lazy.
Nani and Anderson lived with Ronaldo in his house when they moved over from Portugal. Ronaldo helped them settle down and that resulted in all of them becoming good friends.

Please, correct Nani's DOB in Basic Facts Box, it's wrong. Later in text, DoB is correct!
Please, correct: Nani was born in Lisbon, although his parents are from Cape Verde.
Can someone check firstly his international stats in the info box. Are they correct - couldn't find confirmation either way in the links at the end of the article? Secondly, in the Portugal section of the main article, it seems to read he was 13 years when called up for the 2006 U21 squad, IF I'm reading it write. Darkson (BOOM!

Shouldn't there be some sort of section saying why Nani chooses to use a completely random (and stupid) name?
Or a section saying he ignores his real name because he isn't proud of his heritage or something.... I don't know the actual reason.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.132.146.96 ( talk) 00:17, 24 November 2008 (UTC) No, because most people are not idiots. :/ It's quite common for footballers with long names such as nani, c.ronaldo, Ronaldinho and many others to be referred by another name. Nothing to do with not being proud of there heritage and not really noteworthy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.25.218.244 ( talk) 20:58, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

The footballer has consistantly by far the highest page views of all the other Nanis, for example 62k so far this month ( here) compared to ~5k for all the other Nanis combined. 19 of the top 20 Google search results are about the footballer, with one blank page. All of the top 20 in Google News are about the footballer too. Should Nani (footballer) be moved to Nani then Nani should be moved to Nani (disambiguation). doomgaze (talk) 17:10, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
I've removed all references to the name "Luis Nani" from this article as it is a complete misnomer. Nani is his nickname, which people sometimes add "Luis" to in the belief that "Nani" is his surname. The Press Association is particularly guilty of this, although I believe that their error stems from a limitation of the software they use to record football stats; every player's entry in their database needs a first name and surname, so for Nani, they've put "Luis Nani". Same goes for Anderson, who they often refer to as "Anderson Oliveira". – Pee Jay 13:15, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
