Nani relishing Rooney reunion with old Man Utd team-mate

The pair will line up on opposite sides of the pitch this weekend as MLS sides Orlando City and D.C. United lock horns in Florida

Orlando City star Nani admits that Sunday's Major League Soccer clash with D.C. United will be special for him as he prepares to meet with former Manchester United team-mate Wayne Rooney.

The forward pair spent eight years together at Old Trafford, with Nani's Premier League debut coming in August 2007 as a substitute for the ex-England captain.

Nani's career later took him across Europe, including spells with first club Sporting, Fenerbahce, Valencia and Lazio before signing for Orlando at the start of 2019.
