Manchester United winger Nani hinted that he might be moving back to Old Trafford after being sent out on loan last summer.

The Portuguese international has been in-form since he moved back to his boyhood club, Sporting Lisbon, which might have caught the attention on Louis van Gaal as he looks to add depth and quality to his squad. However, it is yet to be disclosed whether the loan contract provides for a recall clause or not.

"I don't think there is a clause but I leave that for others to solve," said the 27-year-old.

"It's always good to feel the affection of the fans."

"If they ask for my return it is because they recognise that I'm doing well and that I could be an asset to the club at the moment."

"That's football - sometimes we are praised and at other times criticised."

"I don't want to distract from my focus. I just want to keep playing football and then we'll see."

"I'm not saying this is the best time in my career - I've had good times and I hope to continue to have them."

"I'm enjoying my football and I hope to remain doing so."

Meanwhile, the probability of landing Red Devils target and Galatasaray playmaker Wesley Sneijder has gone up, with the Turkish giants struggling to maintain its payroll.

Van Gaal has worked with the 30-year-old in the Dutch national team, and will look to bring in a quarterback who understands and can execute his desires on the pitch.

"Galatasaray are having difficulties paying wages," Sneijder's agent, Guido Albers, told Webdehaber

"If the situation continues they will most likely want to be free of Sneijder."
