Sir Alex Ferguson’s former assistant Rene Meulensteen admits he is still bitter that Manchester United snubbed his transfer recommendations.
The Dutchman spent six years at Old Trafford, and served as Sir Alex’s assistant prior to his retirement in 2013. But while the club’s greatest ever boss trusted his judgement, it appears those above him disagreed.
Meulensteen has revealed that on two separate occasions after his departure, he attempted to grease the wheels for transfers - only to be ignored on both times. And he quite rightly believes the pair could have made a major difference to United’s fortunes - picking out Willian and Son Heung-min.
