Giggs: City Didn't Want Me
-
Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs has revealed how cross-town rivals Manchester City failed to sign him as a youngster, despite their best efforts to keep him from wearing a red shirt.
"Two or three of us, the best players in [my junior] team, went down to City, we used to go on a Thursday night at Platt Lane,” the 34-year-old told Sky TV.
"I enjoyed it but I was a United fan! I remember turning up in a red top and was made to take it off!
"I'd wanted to play for United from an early age. Obviously I was at City but City hadn't really approached me with a contract even though I'd trained there for two or three years.
"I think maybe they assumed that I'd sign for them, I don't know, but I'd enjoyed the week at United, it just felt like home. I had no hesitation in signing." -

Let's face it. Houllier may just misuse Ronaldo in any case and he would have ended up a flop. -
