Nani says he felt under pressure while playing at Manchester United because he was playing for a great club.
The winger revealed he was relieved when he left Old Trafford outfit.
The Portuguese winger spent eight years at Old Trafford between 2007 and 2015. Nani won 12 major trophies in that time, including four Premier League titles.
Nani was tipped to replace Cristiano Ronaldo after he was first signed by Sir Alex Ferguson from Sporting Lisbon in 2007.
Nani left Manchester United in 2015, and signed for Fenerbahce after spending the previous year on loan back at Sporting Lisbon.
Nani, who recently joked he taught Ronaldo everything he knows, said as per The Sun: 'I'll tell you the truth, it is never the same after leaving United for another club.
'As a club, as a structure, the quality... everyone knows that, I'm not offending anybody.
'But it was great to come back to Sporting to breathe a little bit, to recover, get some energy back and motivation.
'It was a new challenge and actually a great season at Sporting for me that year.
'I played very well, scored a couple in the Champions League and enjoyed the football a lot.'
He added: 'The game was on and we ran to a cafe to watch the last few minutes.
'I remember I said to him, "That's my team — I will be in that team". Sometimes, things come out of my mouth and I don't have an idea what I'm saying, but you just feel it.'
