Manchester United's Nani was reportedly spotted bowling in Deansgate a matter of hours before his side's crucial Champions League last-16 tie against Olympiacos on Wednesday.
The Portuguese player had been tipped to feature at Old Trafford for the clash, but was left out of the 18-man squad by manager David Moyes.
According to the Daily Mail, Nani posed for photos with fans at the All Star Lanes just two hours before the match, but was spotted in the Champions Club at Old Trafford wearing his United tracksuit at half time.
A hat-trick from Robin van Persie sent United through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League last night.
