MANCHESTER, England - Portugal winger Nani has signed a new five-year deal with Manchester United, tying him to the club until 2018.

Nani hasn't been a regular for United in recent years but manager David Moyes says "he has great ability and experience beyond his 26 years."

Nani joined United in 2007, winning the Premier League four times and also a Champions League title in 2008.

The winger says "when I came to the club, I never imagined the success we have enjoyed," adding that he is "very happy that the new manager has shown this faith in me."
