Euro-winning Portuguese international winger Nani was presented to the Valencia faithful at the Mestalla Stadium on Thursday, and to the delight of thousands in attendance, the Cape Verde-born merchant of pace performed a capoeira routine.

An unconventional if not entertaining unveiling, the former Manchester United star and dancers displayed the Brazilian martial art of Angolan origins as the 29-year-old was presented to the club on a three-year term from Fenerbahce.

With his value boosted by a stellar string of performances at Euro 2016, Nani makes the switch to Valencia courtesy of some advice from one of the sport's best.

"Cristiano (Ronaldo) congratulated me and told me that Valencia was a great club in Spain and that I was going to fit into La Liga."
