Shock Transfer: Manchester United confirm signings of Nani and Anderson (with videos)

WHOA!

 While I was hoping the deal would go through sometime this summer, I had no idea that Fergie and Co. were this far along in the potential signing of Nani. Unbelievable to know that we’ve picked up Anderson as well. Avid Football Manager players are well aware of Nani’s left-wing charms, his signature doubtlessly made easier by Manchester United’s affiliation with Sporting Lisbon (which stems, I might add, from the purchase of one Cristiano Ronaldo).

MORE NANI AND ANDERSON VIDEOS RIGHT HERE

Imagine the United midfield next year when we’ve got two Portuguese wonderboys running at defences for 90 minutes a game.  Consider the damage that could be done if these two International team-mates can switch flanks at will? The attention that will have to be paid to those two by defenders means more opportunities for Rooney to get it done up the middle.

While I don’t know much about Anderson, we’ll be able to get a better look at him during Brazil’s performances at the Copa America.

Can’t have a post without some video perusals, so why not check out these highlights I cobbled together of Manchester United’s newest aquisitions.

Here’s some Nani action, fast forward this one about 30 seconds past the stupid intro. This kid’s got some skill.

This one announces Anderson as the new Ronaldinho Gaucho. Considering we missed out on the real one, let’s hope this guy is right.
