Nani set to leave United
Updated | By Nondumiso Zakwe
The Turks announced the news on social media on Thursday night, saying on twitter: "Fenerbahce has begun talks with Luis Nani and his club Manchester United to transfer the player.
"Nani will be in Istanbul on Sunday for a medical check up."
Nani signed a new five-year deal at Old Trafford in 2013 but spent last season on loan at Sporting Lisbon and is looking for a new club after being told he is not part of Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal's plans.
During his time at Old Trafford the 28-year-old won the Champions League and four Premier League titles, and he has also been capped 86 times for Portugal.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich boss Pep Guardiola says midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger must decide on on his future amid interest from Manchester United.
Germany international Schweinsteiger, 30, previously played under United manager Louis van Gaal at Bayern.
"If Schweinsteiger wants to stay here then that's perfect. He's a top player," Guardiola said.
"Of course I am planning to work with Basti next season. Basti has to decide. I told him, the future depends on you."
United have expressed an interest in Schweinsteiger as Van Gaal looks to add to the capture of former PSV Eindhoven winger Memphis Depay and strengthen his midfield.
