Manchester United and Arsenal both registered past interest in current Watford striker Emmanuel Dennis, his agent has claimed.
Dennis has dazzled for the Vicarage Road outfit after heading to the Premier League, having already scored six goals and recorded five assists.
He put pen to paper on a five-year deal with the club over the summer, but may have headed to either United or Arsenal if they had matched Club Brugge's price tag.
However, both were put off by the £25million valuation slapped on the electric frontman - and Watford pounced themselves with a deal worth just £3.
