The one that got away....

Manchester United star Darren Fletcher has admitted being courted by various clubs including Liverpool, Celtic, Rangers and Newcastle prior to his move to Old Trafford.

"When I had a few clubs after me someone said you should always sign for the best. Liverpool, Newcastle, Celtic and Rangers all wanted me and some of the London clubs were interested too” said Fletcher.

"But I decided not even to go and train with any of them. It was bad enough leaving home but to leave to live in London? In the end I just couldn't see past Manchester United."
