Manchester United were billed as an "adult version of Disneyland" when Ed Woodward attempted to lure Jurgen Klopp eight years ago.
Woodward, the club's then-executive vice-chairman, was the man delivering the sales pitch, which left the German less than impressed. It didn't completely turn him off the idea of taking charge at Old Trafford, but by no means had the desired effect.
United were on the brink of sacking David Moyes, less than a year into the job, and had set their sights on Klopp, who was still in charge at Borussia Dortmund. In the end, the Red Devils would opt for Louis van Gaal whilst Klopp would stay in Germany before eventually arriving in England with Liverpool after rejecting United.
