For Man United fans, flair and panache used to be qualities they would see in every attacking player at their club.

Creativity and outrageous skills were actively encouraged. Stars like Andrei Kanchelskis, Eric Cantona, Cristiano Ronaldo and Angel di Maria would regularly embarrass defenders.

Enter Louis van Gaal. The Dutchman and his philosophy - which appears to prioritise a sideways pass over an attacking bit of showboating - soon booted out any players with that sort of unpredictable attacking genius. Hence why Nani is currently playing for Fenerbahce.

Granted, the Portuguese winger never quite fulfilled his promise at Old Trafford… but United's bored fans would kill to see a player displaying the skills on show in the video above.

The clip comes from Fenerbahce's recent Turkish Cup win at Giresunspor. Nani is running down the left wing, cuts inside… and humiliates Turkish defender Rizvan Sahin with a devastating nutmeg.

Nani: clearly still got it

It's well worth a look.

Not simply because it's a particularly clever nutmeg, but because it's a reminder to all United fans that Nani - not always appreciated during his time in England - still has some skills.

Skills which he would probably be forbidden from using if he was still at Man United.

Isn't that right, Louis?
