Algeria’s impressive goalkeeper Rais M’Bolhi spent several days on trial at Manchester United, only for former manager Sir Alex Ferguson to pass up the opportunity to sign him in 2010. The CSKA Sofia stopper was invited to Manchester United’s Carrington training ground for just under a week four years ago but failed to earn himself a deal under the watchful eye of Ferguson and goalkeeping coach Eric Steele. It was around the time that United were on the hunt for goalkeeping recruits with Edwin van der Sar set to retire in the summer of 2011. Ferguson eventually decided upon signing ADavid De Gea following Van der Sar’s retirement. M’Bolhi was considered as a back-up option but United eventually signed Anders Lindegaard, who joined in the following January. [Source: Daily Mail]
