Name your Turned-Down-United-in-the-past-24-months XI

With the news that Philip Lahm is yet another star who turned down United, I thought it would be fun to pick an XI of players who rejected the once stellar club...

Neuer
Lahm Benatia Hummels Baines
Kroos Thiago
Robben Reus Bale
Muller

Sub Ronaldo

Germans, in particular, seem to hate Manchester, despite their old manager Van Gaal being there. Or maybe they don't rate him: http://www.worldsoccer.com/news/players-turned-down-manchester-united-356118

Coaching staff... Head Ancelotti, assistant manager Klopp, Director of Football Pep.

 

You silly nonce. We didn't even try and sign half of these players and the ones we did the clubs rejected our bids you idiot.

 

Oh come on play ball .. Lahm says he turned down United because he wanted to win Champions League. At the time Bayern, not United, would give him more of an oppotunity

 

There surely must also be a "left United to fry bigger fish" XI in the offing, too.

Ezekiel Fryers should go in at left-back in that team.

 

Katie goes on these club focussed rampages every so often. Clearly a United fan has upset her in the past day or so and she feels the need to exact "revenge"! It'll be QPR, Arsenal, Spurs or Liverpool soon enough. Until Chelsea Pensioner appears to put her back on the naughty step!

Keep up the good work Katie, we're all paying attention!

(Safe bet that she'll start claiming a meltdown victory!)

 

Like clockwork. Thanks NOF

 

No worries Katie, feel free to claim your "bite". You can chalk it off as a good day! Early evening sunshine, the sea and a few glasses have put me in a charitable mood!

 

Good. I'm having a bottle of Gevrey for dinner.

 

Don't you mean mummy &daddy have given you a glass of Vimto ?

 

No Hazard??

 

Apologies forgot about him Fabregas and Jose!

 

Its difficult to attract players with Liverpool being so close.

 

This is true but we've decided to allow Balotelli to move to you.

 

Ronaldinho deserves a spot in that side even if beyond the 12 months

 

He must be devastated he went to sunny Barca and won CL

 

Fortunately for him he got to sit in the stands at OT and watch his Barca team lose to United in the 2008 CL semi-final. You might recall the final that year!

 

Poor side that year Barca: finished 17 points behind real.
Yes, remember final well, took a United pal of mine on my Diamond Club air miles. Had to head home from the 'United' airport in Moscow too with loads of reds.

They were very good about it and just relieved to have won a close game

Compare that with the Scousers crowing after 05!!

Respected United fans that day compared to hideous Scouse gloaters.

Fergie deserved more than one CL.

Rafa deserved nothing

 

Fergie won two CL.

 

Maybe hes still in denial that other final happened

 

No he just didnt follow football pre-2004
