Edgar Davids will be lining up against Manchester United in a Spurs shirt on Saturday but the player has admitted, he very nearly signed for Utd when Sir Alex Ferguson tried to sign him from Ajax.
He was asked how close he came to signing for Man Utd: ‘Close? Very. It was the best conversation I have ever had with a manager. Every team is looking up to Manchester United. Chelsea can go on and have a great history but United have been successful over the years. If you ask any team they would take that history.’
Ok, ok, enough praise for the Red Devils please? No, there is more!
‘What I like most about them is that they play with big hearts. In the big games it is always there. I’ve always had that desire and it is in Manchester United. Roy Keane has this spirit and when you have that around every day it can become second nature.’
