Premier League icon reveals Sir Alex Ferguson called him 'every week'

A Premier League legend has revealed that Sir Alex Ferguson phoned him 'every week' in a bid to get him to sign for Manchester United. Ferguson is one of the most iconic Premier League managers of all time, winning the title 13 times before retiring in 2012 and stepping away from his 27-year reign at the Red Devils. The star revealed on William Hill's podcast, Up Front with Simon Jordan, that, before joining the club he would ultimately make a name for himself at, he was pestered by Ferguson in a bid to persuade him to join United, which ultimately never came to fruition.
