Nani has revealed he was stunned by the ability of 'phenomenal' Paul Scholes during his early days at Manchester United.
The former United winger moved to Old Trafford in 2007 and spent eight years at the club before moving on to Fenerbahce in 2015.
Nani, who now plays his football for MLS side Orlando City, has reflected on his early days in Manchester and admits he was taken aback by Scholes.
'One player who really surprised me and impressed me a lot in the beginning was Paul Scholes - he was phenomenal,' Nani said in a Q&A with Football Wave.
Nani, who won four Premier League titles and the Champions League during his time at United, was also asked about some of his toughest Premier League opponents.
'Maybe Petr Cech,' he continued. 'I scored a few against him but he was always tough to face. He was tall, agile and tough to beat.
'Ashley Cole (gave me trouble). He was really tough in the beginning. But then I got used to him and put him in my pocket!'
