Nani began his career with Sporting CP, joining the youth team in 2003 before making his first-team debut in 2005. During his two-year tenure in Portugal, Nani won only one trophy: the Portuguese Cup in the 2006–07 season. Before the 2007–08 season, Nani's performances attracted the attention of Manchester United, who secured his services in July 2007. He gained first-team status almost immediately and has since won the Premier League twice, the 2007–08 UEFA Champions League, the 2008–09 League Cup, along with the 2008 FIFA Club World Cup and three Community Shields.
Nani made his Portugal debut in 2006, scoring his first goal in the process, and has since established himself as a key member for them. He was heavily featured during Euro 2008 and throughout the 2010 World Cup qualification process. Since his debut, Nani has made 45 appearances and scored 9 goals for Portugal. Though right-footed, he is known for his ability to come inside from the right wing and shoot with power and accuracy with his left foot.
