Manchester United winger Nani has reportedly urged the club to carry out showdown talks over his future at Old Trafford.

Doubts have been raised over the Portugal international's place at the club after manager Sir Alex Ferguson dropped him from the squad that defeated Fulham 3-2 on Saturday.

It is understood that the 25-year-old will refuse to be pushed out the door and has requested a £5m pay-off if Ferguson decides to part ways with him, according to Goal.com.

Zenit St Petersburg are believed to be favourites to snap up the winger.
