MANCHESTER UNITED “LOST out” in their failure to sign Aaron Ramsey ahead of Arsenal according to the Wales assistant manager, Osian Roberts. Ramsey, who initially signed from Cardiff in 2008, hit fine form last season for the Gunners and was rewarded with a new contract before winning the club’s Player of the Season award.
And the 23-year-old, who has previously spoken of spurning Manchester United in favour of Arsenal, has now proved United missed out, according to the Wales assistant.
Speaking after the World Cup 2014 debrief, Roberts is quoted in the Mirror as saying: “[Sir Alex Ferguson] had a strong interest in how Aaron is doing because he was very close to signing him.
“He probably looks at it now as one that he lost out on and got away from him.
“It was really nice that he spoke about Aaron.”
Ramsey was influential as Arsenal overcame Aston Villa 3-0 on Saturday to push his club into the top four, and they now turn their attentions to the north London derby against Tottenham next week.
Have a lot of time for Benitez, won a good few trophies at liverpool and Valencia plus the Europa cup at Chelsea. A very underrated and highly talented manager. All his are always very competitive and I think he makes most teams better. Would love to see him back in the premier league.
Nope there’s enough b*llsh*ters managing in the pl look at chelski!
Qctually would love to see him take the reigns at Spurs! He knows what it takes to manage in the premiership, unfortunately I don’t think levy would go for him.
Rafa would be too strong a personality for Levy. He doesn’t hd back with the media but he does talk some sh!t3 on occasion….. FACT!
Hope he takes over at PSG if Blanc leaves or gets sacked. I think that would be the club for him and I think he could be the one to win the Champions League with them
