Sadly he actually says something like "there was only one team for me and that was Arsenal", which I think meant they were the only team that he actually spoke to, rather than the only one he wanted to sign for. |

ALEX FERGUSON yesterday made public his disgust that Patrick Kluivert has turned down a move to Manchester United and insisted that he still intends to sign Dwight Yorke from Aston Villa.
The Old Trafford manager said he had been led to believe that Kluivert wanted to join United - for pounds 9m from Milan - but that the player had now committed himself to another 12 months in Serie A in Italy. "It won't be the last time this kind of thing happens but players we really want we usually get," Ferguson said. "We were led to believe he wanted to speak to us, but you know what agents are like. Maybe he doesn't know how big a club Manchester United is." It is the second time that Kluivert has talked himself out of a move to England. The 22-year-old Dutch striker's excessive wage demands cooled recent interest from Arsenal, although it now seems, if he did choose to move to the Premiership in the future, he would prefer London to Manchester. "I'm surprised he didn't give himself the opportunity to speak to us and now we hear he wants to go to London," Ferguson said. "If that is where he wants to live, there is nothing we can do about it." |

Kluivert would probably have been brilliant for United. No surprise Fergie was fuming. Worked out alright though. |
