De Boer: I could have chosen Man Utd over Rangers when I left Barcelona

The retired Dutch great has spoken about his exit from La Liga at the turn of the century and revealed just how close he came to the Premier League

Former Barcelona and Netherlands midfielder Ronald de Boer says that he opted for a move to Rangers over Manchester United as he felt he would be limited for opportunities at Old Trafford.
