Especially not a player that rival club Arsenal were also keen to sign at the time.

Four months after, United fans have become lovers of the Argentine’s relentless defensive composure and stealth. He may be 5’9 in height this ability with and without the ball has convinced the Red devils supporters that he was a smart buy.
