Former Liverpool boss Graeme Souness has spoken of turning down Manchester United legends Peter Schmeichel and Eric Cantona.
Souness explained his decisions speaking with the Daily Mail.
"And yeah, Schmeichel wrote to me when I was at Liverpool in the early 1990s. Ron Yeats came into my office and told me there was a young Danish goalkeeper who was a Liverpool fan and was willing to pay his own travel and hotel in exchange for some time with us.
"But at the time I was trying to ease Brucey Grobbelaar out and that was proving a hassle. And I think I had just signed David James. So I thought I could do without it.
"Similar with Eric. We had played Auxerre at home and Michel Platini came to see me. He said he had a player — a problem boy but a proper player. Cantona. I said the last thing I needed was another problem player. I had 30-pluses that I was trying to get out so I didn't need more hassle. I said I was looking for something else. I said no thanks."
