Man United almost announced Ronaldinho transfer and shirt number, reveals Paul Scholes
Paul Scholes has revealed how players at Manchester United went from looking forward to playing with Barcelona legend Ronaldinho to trying to kick him within a matter of days.
The Brazilian was all set to sign for United from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2003, only to change his mind at the very last minute and chose to join Barcelona instead.

The deal came as a huge blow to United manager Sir Alex Ferguson who oversaw one of his more mixed transfer summers that year when he signed the likes of David Bellion, Eric Djemba-Djemba and Kleberson, but also Cristiano Ronaldo.
But he could have added Ronaldinho to that list, and at one stage thought he had signed the player.
