The Portugal international moved to Old Trafford in 2007
from Sporting Lisbon and has played more than 200 games for United, helping
them to win four league titles.
"I'm really pleased Nani has re-signed for the next
five years," United manager David Moyes said.
"He has great ability and experience beyond his 26
years. I've been impressed with his approach to training and look forward to
working with him in the coming seasons."
Nani, who came on as a substitute in the 2008 Champions
League final and scored a penalty in the shootout to help United beat Chelsea,
has been plagued by injury problems and inconsistent form.
He was linked with a move to Italy at the end of last
season but United failed to land several major targets in the transfer window
and midfielder Marouane Fellaini was the only major addition to the squad.
"Playing at United has been a fantastic experience
for me," Nani said.
"When I came to the club, I never imagined the
success we have enjoyed. I'm very happy that the new manager has shown this faith
in me and I'm looking forward to helping the team compete for more honours this
season."
Nani has played 62 games for Portugal, scoring 13 goals.
