#2 Gareth Bale
Gareth Bale is undoubtedly one of the best players in world football at the moment, but before he was tormenting defences at Tottenham and Real Madrid, he had made a name for himself as an exceptional prodigy from Southampton’s youth academy.
The former Spurs superstar revealed that Sir Alex Ferguson tried to sign him in 2007. Speaking in an interview dated 2012 to Match of the Day magazine, Bale revealed why he rejected United to join Tottenham.

“Man United were interested in me but I wanted to play first-team football, I thought I had a better chance of getting that at Tottenham. The manager at the time, Martin Jol, told me he wanted me to go straight into the first team.”
Manchester United have time and again been linked with a huge move for Bale, but, it looks like the Welshman and Red Devils are destined to go their own separate ways.
