Manchester United have missed out on several superstars over the years.
Alan Shearer, Ronaldinho, and Gareth Bale could have all been on their way to Old Trafford, but all ended up heading elsewhere, dealing a severe blow to Manchester United.
Of course, not every target would have gone on to become a world-class player at United, but there is an understandable sense of what could have been.
It has now been revealed that Manchester United were once interested in a player who raised eyebrows for all the wrong reasons before going on to become one of the world’s finest.
Roy Keane heard that Ousmane Dembele trained poorly at Barcelona.
According to the Daily Mail, United swooped for Ousmane Dembele, then at Barcelona, in 2020 after failing to sign Jadon Sancho.
After United turned down a permanent move, a loan deal was agreed upon, but negotiations broke down when the forward refused to sign a contract extension at the Nou Camp.
Barcelona spent £100 million buying him in 2017 and only recouped £43 million when they sold him to Paris Saint-Germain five years later.
