Man Utd could miss out on £20m-rated talent after spurning Sir Alex Ferguson advice

Manchester United could regret not listening to Sir Alex Ferguson's wise words this summer.

The Red Devils are expected to undergo a major recruitment drive with Erik ten Hag poised to arrive as manager after a deal with Ajax was thrashed out. The Dutchman is likely to be on the lookout for a clutch of new signings. Whilst much of the focus is likely to be on players who can immediately affect United's bid to once again challenge for the Premier League, there will also no doubt be a focus on adding talented young players.

One who might be filed under the 'ones that got away' folder is Peterborough's Ronnie Edwards. According to the Sun, United's legendary former boss Ferguson urged his old club to sign the talented teen last summer.
