Manchester United winger Nani has held positive talks with Turkish club Fenerbahce, according to Sky sources.

Fenerbahce have not yet agreed a deal with United and they are one of several clubs interested in the Portuguese winger.

United bought the 28-year-old from Sporting Lisbon for 25.5million euros in 2007, and he has three years left to run on his current deal. 

In 2005, Nani started his career with Sporting Lisbon, making his debut against Udinese in the Champions League. He rose to prominence the following season scoring against Spartak Moscow in the same competition in a 1-1 draw.

He joined his Portuguese compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo at the club, but was unable to make the same impact. He fell out of favour with David Moyes during his tenure at Old Trafford and was frozen out of Louis van Gaal's plans when the Dutchman succeeded Moyes last summer.

Nani enjoyed a second spell with Sporting last term, impressing with 12 goals in 35 league appearances while on loan. He also scored in a penalty shootout against Sporting Braga in the Portuguese Cup final to help his secure silverware.
