Alex Ferguson's keen interest in signing Steven Gerrard is no more a secret, but emphatically Manchester United once tried to sign another Liverpool star, Fernando Torres when he was 16.

Fernando Torres made a big money move to Liverpool from Atletico Madrid in 2007 but before Liverpool, Red Devils tried to lure the Spaniard, and it was revealed by Ferguson himself.

'' We watched him [Torres] many times and tried to sign him when he was 16]''

Fernando Torres was simply fabulous when he was at the top of his form at the Red Half of Merseyside.

But Torres did leave Anfield in 2011 in order to secure a move to Chelsea. Perhaps, arguably he enjoyed best days of career at Stamford Bridge clinching Champions League and the Premier League. Later, he returned to his boyhood club Atletico Madrid in 2015 and now, Fernando Torres piles his trade for Japanese club Sagan Tosu.
