#4 United wanted Mane
Can you believe it? Just close your eyes for a moment and envisage Sadio Mane playing in the red of Manchester United and not Liverpool. Impossible to vision, isn’t it?
Well, if it weren’t for a mature decision from the player himself, we might as well have seen him play for United (most probably as left-back under the tutelage of Jose Mourinho) as the Red Devils wanted to sign him when Louis van Gaal was in charge.
Mane revealed that the Red Devils made an offer for him to join the Theatre of Dreams but he had to reject it because he didn’t think it was the right time for him to take such a leap.
“I couldn’t believe it. Some teams wanted me. Manchester (United), the wrong team wanted me. Of course, I spoke with Van Gaal and they even made an offer,” Mane said.
“But for me it was not the right club, it was not the right moment. To feel this - the right moment, the right coach, the right club.”
