NANI WAS BASICALLY run out of Man United as fans of the club lambasted him for his poor showing under David Moyes.

The strike doubled the Lisbon club’s lead in the 35th minute after Cardoso Mane opened the scoring.

Maribor were handed a route back into the game before the break with Nascimento’s own goal, but Slimani struck 25 minutes from time to seal the three points.
