When Manchester United won the race to sign Davide Petrucci in 2008, it looked like they were onto a winner.
The Italian youth international was held in high regard after coming through the ranks at hometown club AS Roma, but left without playing a minute for the first team. He told Mirror Football in 2021 that he didn't want to leave the team he supported as a boy, but the chance of turning out for the reigning Champions League winners was "too big to turn down".
He never got that chance, though, leaving Old Trafford without playing a minute for the first team. And in more than a decade since, he has been trying his luck in a number of different European leagues with mixed success, winning the second senior trophy of his career last season.
