Nani's omission from Manchester United's new calendar fuels exit rumours

Manchester United winger Nani is the latest star name to be hit by the curse of the Christmas calendar.

Nani faces renewed speculation over his Premier League future after finding himself omitted from the club’s official 2013 calendar.

The 25-year-old's contract negotiations at Old Trafford have been stalling for a number of months and the summer arrivals of Shinji Kagawa and Robin van Persie have only intensified the competition for attacking places in Sir Alex Ferguson’s side.

The latest development also comes in the wake of recent interest being shown in the winger from Italian giants AC Milan and their Serie A counterparts Juventus.

The winger has made just 11 appearances in all competitions this term, with the likes of Ashley Young, Danny Welbeck and Wayne Rooney often preferred.
