Raul could have joined Manchester United, his agent revealed Ginés Carvajal, who has represented former Real Madrid forward Raúl, said that before his client headed to Schalke, an offer arrived from Manchester United. In the summer of 2010, when iconic Real Madrid forward Raúl was considering his options, after deciding to leave the Spanish club, a firm offer arrived from Manchester United. “His first decision was to leave. The second was if he was going somewhere to compete or not. He chose to compete. There were a number of teams interested, including Manchester United, but there was one person, Felix Magath, who convinced Raúl to join him in the fight at Schalke.” “The interest from United was serious, but there was some uncertainty over what his role would be in the team. If he was going to be a backup player, then he might as well have remained at Real Madrid.” “Raúl’s decision was a very thoughtful one and not taken in the heat of the moment. The people of Madrid thought he shouldn’t have left, but we thought it was a mistake to have a player of his class, without him playing.”
