The 28-year-old was received by Fenerbahce fans at the airport and he claims a move to the Sükrü Saracoğlu Stadium will not give him a chance to review his career.
“I’m very happy for being here. I think that there is a big chance to prove myself again. I’ll try to do my best to make Fenerbahce fans happy. I hope everything goes well,” Nani told Fenerbahce’s official website.
“I know Fenerbahce very well. The club’s aims have always been high and playing with [Raul] Meireles and Bruno Alves will be exciting. With their help, I’ll feel like I’m with my family. I want to be successful with my new team-mates.”
According to BBC, Nani has signed a three year deal at Fenerbahce and his move to Turkey will see United bag around £4.25m from his sale.
