Former Manchester United winger Nani has backed new manager and compatriot Jose Mourinho to bring the good times back to Old Trafford.

Nani was among a number of United players to leave the club when Louis van Gaal replaced David Moyes, with the Dutchman keen to bring in his own signings.

However, Van Gaal's reign was ultimately one of disappointment, with the Dutchman losing his job after the club failed to qualify for next season's Champions League, finishing fifth in the Premier League.

But Nani insists United have finally found the right manager to bring the glory days back to the club, and believes Mourinho is "the best in the world" at what he does.

"He has done well in England in the past. We know he can always produce something at every team he goes to and we hope he will help Manchester United to win titles again," he told reporters.

Nani has also praised the ability of former United team-mate Wayne Rooney, having faced off against the England captain during the Three Lions' 1-0 win over Portugal at Wembley on Thursday.

Debate continues to rage over Rooney's best position for England, with the Premier League's leading goalscorers Jamie Vardy and Harry Kane pushed wide to accomodate the 30-year-old, but Nani insists he will be a key contributor wherever he plays.

"I played with him for many years so I know what Wayne can do on the pitch," Nani said.

"I saw him ply on the left wing, the right wing, striker. I saw him a little bit more down in midfield. I am not surprised to see him more in midfield.

"He has a lot of qualities. It is different to midfield than to play striker but of course he is a great player and any time he can do something great for England."
