10 superstars Arsene Wenger missed out on

#2 Cristiano Ronaldo

Another Manchester United player who could have been at Arsenal

The Portuguese superstar could have been playing at Arsenal instead of Manchester United and Real Madrid had Wenger moved a little quicker for Cristiano Ronaldo's signature.

Ronaldo was discovered by Arsenal scout Damien Comolli back in 2000 during a youth tournament in France - he immediately informed Arsene Wenger about the young Portuguese wonder-kid.

CR7 twice visited Arsenal's training ground and even met his idol Thierry Henry - but the transfer ultimately fell through when Wenger failed to collect funds for the transfer.

A few months later Sporting Lisbon played Manchester United and Ronaldo went on to destroy the Red Devils, catching the eye of Sir Alex Ferguson in the process - and the rest, as they say, is history.
