The former Tottenham and AC Milan midfielder could have moved to Old Trafford eight years ago.
Hertha midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng says he nearly joined Manchester United from AC Milan in 2013, but opted to join Schalke instead.
The 34-year-old joined the Bundesliga club in August of that year on a deal through to the summer of 2017, though his contract was cancelled just two-and-a-half years later.
Boateng has now revealed how he turned down the chance to move to Old Trafford, which could potentially have put his career on a very different path.
What did Boateng say?
Boateng struggled to find his best form in Germany and was suspended at the end of the 2014-15 season, with the club citing a "lack of mutual trust" and informing Boateng he could find a new club.
His contract was eventually terminated early in December 2015, freeing him up to re-join Milan on a short-term deal the following month.
The Ghana international has now hinted that he regrets choosing a move to Schalke over the Red Devils, adding that it was his two spells with Milan that saw him develop as a player.
“I had the opportunity to move to Manchester United. I chose Germany - you saw what happened to me at Schalke," he told Hertha’s website.
"At some point I became intelligent. It started with Milan. I played with world stars and learned something from everyone.”
