Iconic Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson broke his own set of transfer rules to complete a deal for former Fulham star Louis Saha.
The former France striker is a very popular figure for both clubs ahead of their meeting in the FA Cup quarter-finals this weekend. He had scored 63 goals in 142 appearances for the Whites between 2000 and 2004 following his arrival from Metz.
With the Red Devils needing some more inspiration in the race for the Premier League title, Ferguson turned to the transfer market. He was tempted by a move for Saha but sought advice from some of his own players including legendary right-back Gary Neville - something that he had never done before.
