Speculation over Nani's future at Manchester United has been rife since the season ended but the winger seemed to not have a care in the world as he hit the Miami beach with fiancee Daniela Martins.The 26-year-old wore a pair of blue camo shorts and looked to be enjoying the sunshine as he took in some Stateside rays and cooled off in the clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean.Martins sported a reptile print bikini with bright pink piping as the pair took a dip to cool off from the heat.
