PEMAIN sayap Manchester United Nani gagal mengeksekusi penalti, mendapat peringatan kartu kuning dan diganti di menit ke-77 saat pertandingan pertama kembali di Sporting Lisbon.
Nani, yang bergabung ke bekas klubnya dengan status pinjaman hingga akhir musim sebagai bagian dari kesepakatan dengan Manchester United yang mengontrak Marcos Rojo, kinerja tersebut bukan kabar baik bagi debutnya di Sporting Lisbon, seperti dilansir MailOnline.
Pemain internasional Portugal ini diberi peluang untuk mencetak gol pada laga debutnya setelah berlangsung 63 menit tetapi gagal mengeksekusi penalti dalam laga di Liga Primeira antara Sporting Lisbon melawan Arouca.
Sporting berhasil mencetak gol di menit akhir melalui Carlos Mane yang berpeluang menekan Nani untuk diturunkan di laga berikutnya.
Nani, yang menandatangani kontrak lima tahun di Manchester United September lalu, gagal meyakinkan manajer baru Louis van Gaal bahwa ia layak berada di tim utama di bawah asuhan pelatih asal Belanda tersebut.
Sementara itu, Rojo - yang pindah ke arah yang berlawanan sebagai Nani - tidak akan tampil dalam debutnya di Manchester United melawan Sunderland hari ini lantaran MU belum menerima izin kerjanya sebelum berlangsung laga di Stadium of Light.
MANCHESTER United winger Nani missed a penalty, was cautioned and substituted in the 77th minute during his first game back at Sporting Lisbon.
Nani, who joined his former side on loan until the end of the season as a makeweight in the deal which saw Manchester United sign Marcos Rojo, will not be pleased with how his Sporting Lisbon debut went.
The Portuguese international was handed the chance to score on his debut after 63 minutes but was unable to score from 12 yards in Sporting Lisbon´s Primeira Liga encounter against Arouca.
Sporting managed to score in stoppage time through Carlos Mane which will take some of the pressure off of Nani.
Nani, who signed a five-year deal at Manchester United last September, failed to convince new manager Louis van Gaal that he was worthy of a first-team spot in the Dutchman´s team.
Meanwhile, Rojo - who moved in the opposite direction as Nani - will not be able to make his Manchester United debut against Sunderland on Sunday as the club did not receive his work permit in time for their match at the Stadium of Light.
