Ronaldo, Fabregas, Bale? United would have signed WORLD CLASS star if Fergie had stayed. FORMER Manchester United assistant Mike Phelan claims that had Sir Alex Ferguson remained in charge at Old Trafford this summer the champions would have signed one of the best players in the world. Phelan left United when Ferguson retired in May, with new boss David Moyes choosing to bring in his own backroom staff. And now Phelan has stoked the flames by claiming that Ferguson and chief executive David Gill had lined up a world class signing. If Sir Alex and David Gill had still been the bosses... I won’t name the player, but there would have been a star signing - one of the absolute best players in the world, said Phelan. It was something the boss talked about, and the owners and David Gill were also quite clear on doing it. While Phelan stopped short of naming the player, he confirms it was set to be a big signing. There’s very few of such players out there, Phelan added. I think it’s clear to everybody who I’m talking about. We didn’t see the need for a big clear-out of the squad, that’s why Sir Alex and I had one big signing in sight. One such star signing gives everybody a lift, we saw that with Robin van Persie.
