Former Manchester United coach, Sir Alex Ferguson, has said that he rejected three English clubs as he was intent on joining Manchester United.
Ferguson said that before he moved to Old Trafford, the likes of Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Wolverhampton Wanderers were all interested in taking him.
Ferguson was the manager of Aberdeen, guiding them to three league titles, among other numerous honors.
He said it was Aberdeen chairman Dick Donald that asked him to only leave the club for United.
The legendary tactician said this in a recent interview on TNT Sports.
“I said [to Aberdeen chairman Dick Donald] that maybe it was time for me to leave, blah, blah, blah, and he said to me ‘don’t talk like that’. You should go only to one club – Manchester United.
“I never budged until that came long. When it came along, I couldn’t get there quick enough.
Ferguson went on to become the greatest Manchester United manager of all time and arguably the greatest Premier League manager as well.
