agree with that. Couldn’t understand it at all myself at the time, he’d just had his purple patch and was past it imo. Felt like a desperate attempt at creating a cult hero.

Callum Wilson would’ve been a belting signing tbh.

Nick Barmby & Kinkladze

Not sure if we actually came close to signing either but I remember the rumours at the time.

I always remember us signing Peter Bodak then never playing him.

I always remember Peter Ndlovu’s brother (Adam I think) doing keeps uppys on one of the Saturday morning shows and thinking he was going to be the next best thing. Don’t think he ever played for us.

Edit: just googled him and he’s dead. Completely forgot about that.

It would be interesting to know which players over the years we genuinely missed out on and how things could have been different if they’d signs. Obviously not the Ronaldinho types but the ones we haven’t heard of, as there has to be quite a few.

Fergie was a big admirer of Tony Adams iirc.

Battistuta must be top of the list

Yeah most probably.

Would be nice to know when, what would have changed etc

No Cole or maybe a few years later so no Yorke.

But under the radar players too…

United building a midfield around David Batty etc
