Nani has encouraged Fenerbahçe to sign former Manchester United teammate Robin van Persie and underlined that he would fit in well at the club.

The 28-year-old winger was asked if he has had the chance to speak about the ongoing talks between United and Fenerbahçe over Van Persie at his official signing ceremony.

“No I have not had the chance to speak with him yet but if he is coming here I think it is a very good decision to come here as he is a very experienced player and a player who will score goals,” Nani told Turkish-football.com sources at the signing ceremony.

“I know him well we are good friends so if the club signs him it will be a great choice.”
