WHEN ARSENAL MISSED OUT ON SIGNING CRISTIANO RONALDO.IN 2003.

Arsenal have missed out on some great players, who did not get their work permit in England. But the Cristiano Ronaldo affair was lost to Manchester Uniteds cunningness. Arsene Wenger was keen to sign Cristiano Ronaldo , but Manchester united were equally keen to get him. So what Alex Ferguson did was to send his assistant manager Carlos Queiroz who happened to be Portuguese national like Cristiano Ronaldo, to convince him to join Manchester United for 12 million pounds. The deal was done and HISTORY was written for good.
