🚨 Pavel Nedvěd On his Biggest Regret In football, Never Played For Manchester United
🗣️Reporter: Pavel, you’ve won the Ballon d’Or, Serie A titles, and played for some of the biggest clubs in Europe. Looking back, do you have any regrets?
🗣️Pavel Nedvěd: Yes, one.
🗣️Reporter: Just one?
🗣️Pavel Nedvěd: That I never played for Manchester United. I’d have liked that.
🗣️Reporter: Manchester United? Even after everything you achieved with Lazio and Juventus?
🗣️Pavel Nedvěd: Yes. I admired that Manchester United team. Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs were players I really respected.
🗣️Reporter: Were you ever close to joining them?
🗣️Pavel Nedvěd: No, not really. The transfer was never on the table. There was only Chelsea showing serious interest.
🗣️Reporter: So Chelsea wanted you, but Manchester United never came?
🗣️Pavel Nedvěd: Exactly. Chelsea were there, but Manchester United wasn’t. That’s football.
🗣️Reporter: Why Manchester United specifically?
🗣️Pavel Nedvěd: I was a little jealous of Karel Poborský. He played there, experienced Old Trafford, the big matches, Sir Alex Ferguson, everything. I know he still feels that love for the club today.
🗣️Reporter: So despite winning the Ballon d’Or and becoming a Juventus legend, your biggest football regret is never wearing the Manchester United shirt?
🗣️Pavel Nedvěd: Yes. That’s the one thing missing from my career.

ℹ️ | Cristian Orozco is highly rated by Christopher Vivell’s data team and is viewed internally as a Heaven/Dorgu-type signing.
The midfielder is regarded as a significant long-term talent due to his physical profile and athletic attributes, with an adaptation period of around 18 months planned before any real expectations are placed upon him.
The current focus is on development, integration around the first-team environment and exposure to senior training.
It’s also important to stress that every young player develops at a different rate. United remain excited by the potential of players such as Kone and Leon, with individual development plans in place for all three.

🚨 Jason Wilcox was Southampton’s Director of Football when the club signed Mateus Fernandes from Sporting CP on 20 August 2024, reportedly for around £12-15m! ✨✍️
Reunion at Manchester United! ⏳

90% of the soldiers on the first boats to hit the beach didn't live to see the end of the day. Look at those faces. Some of them never made it to 18.
Never forget that they paid the ultimate price for our freedom. We live our lives the way we do because of them.
The first wave is closing on Omaha Beach. This is why, as a Brit, I tell my American son always to hold his head high. Most of the men in this photo will be killed or wounded in the next couple of hours. My freedom is not free. See more on Substack: https://t.co/EEg00P06y6
Just figured out that we don’t need to sign a 3rd midfielder this summer
Tyler Fletcher is going to the World Cup and that makes you a great player worth more than £38m according to the new rules established by the more mentally unstable members of our fanbase 😉

“If we didn’t sign Branthwaite, how can we possibly defend high? He’s just £85m, missing out on him would mean our season over” We can see where Branthwaite is today.
“How can we miss out on Evan Ferguson, £100m for Baby Kane is not too much”
Where is baby Kane today?
“We must sign Baleba, we need legs in the midfield, without Baleba how can we play football?”
Sell Bruno for £57m buy Baleba for £112m” “its for the good of the club”
Now it is, if we don’t sign Anderson, we won’t be able to play football next season, our season is already over before it started because we don’t want to sign Anderson for £120m..
See the pattern?? I am glad we don’t have Richard Arnold and John Murtough anymore, now we work with data, we sign players that are ready to play for us, you can cry all you want, I’ll advise you to go do your assignments.
🚨 Zlatan Ibrahimović on Signing for Manchester United and How the Club Compares to Barcelona, Milan & Juventus
🗣️Reporter:
Zlatan, you’ve played for some of the biggest clubs in football Barcelona, Juventus, Inter, AC Milan, PSG. What made Manchester United different?
🗣️Zlatan Ibrahimović:
First of all, Manchester United is Manchester United. When the opportunity came, there was no second thought. Some clubs are big because they win trophies, some clubs are big because of history, and some clubs are big because they change football. Manchester United belongs in that category.
“I played for Barcelona, Juventus, Milan, Inter, Paris Saint-Germain fantastic clubs, massive clubs. But Manchester United has a different aura. The name alone carries weight all over the world.”
🗣️Reporter:
Are you saying Manchester United is bigger than Barcelona?
🗣️Ibrahimović:
Barcelona is a giant football club. Nobody can deny that. But when you talk about global recognition, history, supporters across every continent, and the pressure that comes with wearing the shirt, Manchester United is in a category of its own.
At Barcelona, you’re expected to win. At Manchester United, you’re expected to carry the history of generations. Everywhere I travelled, people spoke about United. In Asia, America, Africa, the Middle East the club is known everywhere.
🗣️Reporter:
What was your first impression when you arrived?
🗣️Ibrahimović:
The size of the club. The expectation. The attention. Every training session felt important. Every match felt like an event. I understood immediately why so many legends were created here.
I didn’t come to Manchester United to finish my career. I came to conquer England. People thought I was too old. Three months later, I showed them why Zlatan is Zlatan
That reflects his famous United-era remarks about conquering England and his admiration for the scale of the club.
🗣️Reporter:
One sentence to describe Manchester United?
🗣️Ibrahimović
A football institution. Not just a club an institution. I’ve played for giants, but Manchester United is one of the few names in football that everyone recognizes instantly, whether they watch football or not.

As mentioned before, United have been working on this since March, holding talks with his representatives and are increasingly confident of getting the deal done.
Not often you come across a video clip of a teenage Andy Mitten, selling the United We Stand in the 90s! Such great days, they were.
How old were you here, @AndyMitten?
