Nani, 24, made the leap from Sporting to United in 2007 and has not looked back, making 95 appearances in his four seasons at the Red Devils. The winger has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford this summer after United signed Ashley Young from Aston Villa, but the Portugal international has stated that he is willing to stay and fight for his position.
Villas-Boas was appointed Chelsea boss after guiding Porto to an impressive domestic league, Supercup and Europa League treble last campaign. This success, Nani believes, has earned his compatriot the right to guide one of the Premier League's powerhouse clubs.
"Villas-Boas did well to trade the Portuguese League for the Premier League. Chelsea is an excellent club, it is fair to try his luck because it is always a dream job," Nani told SIC.
"I understand Villas-Boas, it is always a difficult decision to leave the club who are in your heart."
Meanwhile, former Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar has pinpointed Chelsea and Manchester City as the club's greatest threats in their attempt to claim a 20th Premier League crown. Van der Sar cited a lack of stability as potential insurmountable hurdles for Arsenal and Liverpool.
He told ESPN Star Sports and Asia One: "Liverpool will be really motivated to try and win the league. They will be anxious to try and overtake our 19th title, but I don't think that's going to happen.
"Arsenal, at the moment, are a little in limbo because some players are going to leave. They have issues of strengthening key areas and convincing players to stay.
"It's going to be Chelsea again, they are always going to be challenging. Maybe Manchester City will be there, although they may have some trouble convincing Carlos Tevez to stay."
