Another entry in the big book of Manchester United "What Ifs".

After David Beckham's departure to Real Madrid in 2003, United wanted a superstar to replace him and targeted the guy who made David Seaman look like an idiot at the 2002 World Cup... well even more of an idiot than that ponytail made him look.

Personal terms had been agreed and Ronaldinho later said he was "on the brink" but with United faffing about in negotiations with PSG, one call from incoming Barca President Sandro Rosell and the Spanish giants snuck in and took the Brazilian to the Camp Nou.

Devastated, Ferguson signed someone called Cristiano Ronaldo instead... wonder what he's up to nowadays?!
