Iconic Argentinean playmaker Juan Roman Riquelme has admitted that declining the chance to join Manchester United counts as his one regret from his playing career.
Riquelme reportedly had the chance to move to Manchester in 2006, according to the Daily Mirror, after impressing Sir Alex Ferguson in Champions League action against the Red Devils.
But instead he stayed in Spain with Villarreal.
The Mirror translates quotes from Mundo Deportivo, in which Riquelme says:
The only thing I regret in my career was a decision that I took, when at the hotel in England before the semi-final with Arsenal, when Manchester United came to buy me and I said no.
