'I recommended him... I wrote over 40 reports!' Former Manchester United scout Jorge Alvial urged Red Devils to sign Alphonso Davies before the Canadian joined Bayern Munich

A former Manchester United scout insists he told the club countless times to sign Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies.

The 19-year-old has burst onto the scene for the German giants this season, making 32 appearances this season and impressing in Bayern's 3-0 win against Chelsea in the Champions League last-16 first-leg.

However, it could've been a different story for Davies as ex-United scout Jorge Alvial, revealed he recommended the Canadian to United when he was 14 years old, after he spotted his ability at the Dallas Cup youth tournament.
