7 players that Sir Alex Ferguson missed out on for Manchester United

Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson opened up about some world class players he missed out on. The Scotsman has won every single trophy out there, but feels that he could have done better had he acquired some of the players in the list.In the 26 years he managed United, he won one Super Cup, one FIFA Club World Cup, two Champions League trophies, four League Cup, five FA Cups, and 13 Premier League trophies. He also made Manchester United the one and only English team to win a historic treble. He honed some of the best players that the Premier League has seen, which includes the likes of Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, three-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo, and current England top scorer Wayne Rooney.Here is a list of players Ferguson missed out on.

#1 Ronaldo

Manchester United missing out on Ronaldo is probably one of  the biggest losses for the club, as the player went on to become one of the best forwards the world. He helped his country win two World Cups, with one coming in 1994 and the other in 2002.

They wanted to buy the player from Cruzerio in 1994, but they were unable to arrange his work permit and saw him move to PSV Eindhoven. Although United had Eric Cantona to lead the strike force during that time period, United would have an even more frightening strike force with the presence of Il Fenomeno. 

In a recent interview, Ferguson had the following to say: "We wanted to sign the Brazilian striker from Cruzeiro in 1994, but we could not get a work permit and he went to PSV Eindhoven."
