1. Gareth Bale
In 2007, Manchester United was one of several Premier League clubs vying to sign a teenage Gareth Bale from Southampton.
However, Bale opted to join Tottenham Hotspur instead, where he initially struggled but eventually exploded into one of the most dangerous wingers in the world.
His pace, dribbling, and ability to score from long-range made him a sensation in the Premier League.
Bale’s link to Manchester United didn’t end there.
In 2012, Sir Alex Ferguson attempted to bring both Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo back to Old Trafford in a sensational £200 million double swoop.
Patrice Evra mentioned this in his latest interview.
Both players reportedly wanted the move, but United refused to meet the asking price.
Bale went on to win five Champions League titles with Madrid, cementing himself as one of the world’s top talents.
Meanwhile, United missed out on a player who could have been a transformative figure for the club.
