Nani has retired after almost 25 years in football, and while his time at Manchester United will be remembered fondly, one alarming bust-up with Sir Alex Ferguson has stayed with him
Former Manchester United winger Nani is remembered at Old Trafford for his dazzling skills and trophy-laden tenure – as well as a notorious incident involving Ryan Giggs and an irate Sir Alex Ferguson .
However, the Portuguese star confessed that he publicly undermined Giggs in the dressing room after the match in an attempt to save face. But this strategy didn't sit well with Ferguson, reports the Mirror. Despite Nani's hope that Giggs could take some of the flak off him, Ferguson – in true fashion – turned to his other mercurial winger and let rip at him too. Nani added: "'Who gave you permission to take the penalty? Ryan!' And then he killed Ryan Giggs, because he said, 'Ryan, why did you let him take the penalty?'
