Back in 2007, Manchester United had come asking for a young Gareth Bale but baulked at Tottenham’s £5m asking price. Sir Alex was on point yet again in recognizing the Welshman’s talent and viewing him as a future replacement for Ryan Giggs.

Now, when you look at the giant monster that Gareth Bale has become, it is hard to not feel the regret of passing the chance to sign him.

Bale has been one of the key players in Real Madrid’s most glorious era in their history. Come to think of it, those two scorchers against Liverpool in the Champions League final could have been bought for just £5m!

Interestingly, Manchester United tried to rectify their mistake in 2014 when Gareth Bale signed for Real Madrid, but in vain.
