Manchester United winger Nani has arrived in Istanbul ahead of his imminent move to Fenerbahce - something the local fans are VERY excited about it judging by the welcome they game him.

The Portugal international spent last season back in his homeland on loan at Sporting Lisbon and now looks set to complete a permanent transfer away from Old Trafford.

Upon his arrival in Turkey, he was met by large crowds at Sabiha Gokcen Airport on Sunday night ahead of a medical - and the mob were keen to show their appreciation for the winger.

Speaking to Fenerbahce's official website, Nani revealed his delight at moving to the Turkish giants.

"I really am very happy to be here now. I see this as a new opportunity in my career. This is an opportunity for me to show myself. I want to be succesful.

"I've seen all these fans coming out for me and I was really happy. I want to show them my best football. I always do the best that I can."

Nani, who spent eight years at Old Trafford, was temporarily shipped back to Sporting last summer when Marcos Rojo joined Louis van Gaal's side.

A four-time Premier League winner, the 28-year old is keen to slot in at his new club and has been well-informed by Portugal internationals Bruno Alves and Raul Meireles, who both ply their trade with Fener.

"Fenerbahce are a club I have always known," he said. "Fener is a club that aims high. With the national team I play with Bruno Alves and Raul Meireles and it is very nice for me to come here and feel like I have family. I hope I can quickly fit in."
