Usain Bolt - I win
Players Utd were regularly linked with but never signed XI
- Thread starter Zlatattack
- Start date
That was just one Summer. And what a Summer it was.
Karim Benzema once claimed we went in for him every summer, even after he went to Madrid
Thankfully we never signed Gaitan, he is crap

Wesley Sneijder is the winner hands down.
During Moyes tenure we were linked with Davide Astori quite heavily.

We've been linked with pretty much every decent footballer on the planet regularly for the last 30 years, so I've gone for the ones who were my favourite players and who we were regularly linked with, regardless of how tenuous. Good team though. Eboue aside

RB: Eboue
CB: Miguel Angel Nadal
CB: Paolo Maldini
LB: Dani Alves
RW: Nedved
CM: Gattuso
CM: Ariel Ortega
LW: Ronaldinho

GK: Neuer
RB: Eboue

Phillipe Mexes?
My mom told me United had signed Ronaldo, i didn't care about football that year. I was laughing at her, that ship has sadly sailed now mom. We both was right. Anyways, Im not sure we was ever actually linked to Ronaldo Lima but he should be on there for sure along with Zidane too
It was Simon Kjaer!
Alves is a RB
You could throw in Roberto Carlos
I needed a sitter and I could only think of one more - Andy TownsendYou ruined that with Strootman
English XI - missing a RB. Not 100% but weren’t we linked with rob jones before he joined Liverpool?
Shilton
RB ?

Butcher

Barnes
Gazza

Sorry, I didn’t see your follow up post. I remember Kjaer being linked with us too, and everyone being surprised when he only signed for Wolfsburg, given his potential. It was a bit like when Van der Vaart signed for Hamburg - underwhelming.
I remember when all I would read on ceefax was (Salas close to Man Utd move)

We've been linked with Schmeichel a few times over the years too.
Pearce, Gascoigne, Zidane, could keep going and make a decent 90s team.
