Nani stayed fit since leaving Man United and is among host of 'oldies' in shape

Chiselled physiques aren't just the favourite pastimes of Love Island contestants this summer as former Manchester United star Nani shows.

The Portuguese star has kept fit since leaving Old Trafford and, at 35, looks like he could rival compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo for gym dedication.

Nani confirmed a move to Australian A-league side Melbourne Victory on Tuesday and by the looks of things, he is primed and ready to go despite his last minutes of action coming in April for Italian side Venezia.

The winger shared photos of his current condition via his Instagram page and it's fair to say that he's never looked better as he donned a chiselled physique during training sessions in Florida.

Nani has combined a range of sprint drills with strength work as he embarks on his 18th year as a professional.

The much-travelled winger left Old Trafford for Turkish side Fenerbahce in 2015 before brief stints at La Liga side Valencia, Lazio, Sporting Lisbon, MLS side Orlando City and latterly Venezia.

At a point in his career where some players begin to wind down, Nani has joined a host of other thirty-somethings by turning up the notch an extra level and doubling down on his diet and training regime.

Clearly, Nani's current look is testament to his commitment on and off the pitch and it appears that he isn't ready to consider hanging up his boots any time soon.

Nani's former teammate Ronaldo has continually kept himself in optimum shape throughout his career with a strict diet plan and coupled with regular training.

Sergio Ramos is another who has trimmed down in recent times whilst former Bayern Munich ace Ze Roberto, 48, has become a social media sensation due to his shredded physique and intense training videos.

Not to de outdone, talkSPORT's very own Ray Parlour has been showing off his trim torso this summer between his talkSPORT Live tour dates.

Nani will be hoping to show that he still has the mileage in his body as he heads down under for a brand new challenge.

He could even face Ronaldo and co. when United visit Australia after their time in Asia.

Their first game is against Melbourne Victory on Friday, while manager Erik ten Hag will hope Ronaldo decides to come and join his teammate on their tour.

The 37-year-old wants to leave the Premier League side and has been left out of the pre-season trip to Bangkok where they played Liverpool on Tuesday.
