Legendary former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was keen on signing Wales wonderkid Ethan Ampadu, but during the turbulent years at the club after his retirement, the Welshman slipped through the net and joined Chelsea.
17-year-old Ampadu is yet to feature for Chelsea in the Premier League this season, but has starred for his country during the recent international break. His eye-catching performances for Wales - most notably in the win over Ireland - have got some fans crying out for the youngster to be given a chance under new boss Maurizio Sarri.
However, according to the Manchester Evening News, it was Ferguson who first spotted Ampadu's potential, reportedly describing the then 12-year-old as 'a proper United player'.
