Inconsistent winger Nani will be shown the door at Old Trafford after yet again failing to prove he can cut it at the top-level.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has finally lost patience with trickster Nani after yet another string of below-par performances from the winger.

The Portuguese international arrived at Old Trafford in 2007 for a fee believed to be around a whopping £17million, and now that figure looks astronomical to say the least. The 22-year-old has failed to set the world alight during his fifty plus league appearances, and now Fergie has called time on his United career.

Nani was dropped for The Red Devils' league encounter with Bolton yesterday and it's believed that his days are now numbered in the North West.

Many thought that after having sold Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid, the former Sporting Lisbon man would flourish this season. But, despite being handed a number of starting berths, the ace has floundered, and has consistently been substituted.

Now, Fergie will attempt to offload the man with 31 Portuguese caps to his name in the January transfer window, and rekindle his interest in Spanish maestro David Silva who is rumoured to be unhappy at cash-strapped Valencia.
