Former "Man Utd" defender Paul Scholes revealed that in the past the "Red Devils" were one step away from a contract with the ball virtuoso Ronaldinho. This story happened in 2003, when the Brazilian decided to leave Paris Saint Germain. "I remember that at that time 2-3 new players were supposed to arrive. One of them was Harry Kewell, who rejected our offer and chose "Liverpool". There was discussion about Damien Duff, and Arjen Robben was close to signing a contract. As a defender, I always eagerly awaited the arrival of fast players who could score goals for your team. However, among this group stood out Ronaldinho. I can't say the exact year, but I think the coach at that time really wanted the Brazilian. During the pre-season, I think the team was already ready to publicly introduce the Brazilian and even chose a shirt number for him, but he apparently changed his mind at the last minute and shook hands with "Barcelona," - P. Scholes told the BBC. "It's weird, because later during the season we played against "Barcelona" and everyone admired Ronaldinho's game."
