A great piece of transfer gossip!
According to reports, Manchester United allegedly ignored 40 calls from Bayern Munich to sign Alphonso Davies, a Canadian teenager, before he eventually joined the German giants in 2019.
Davies, who was just 17 at the time, was a highly-rated left-back with Vancouver Whitecaps in Major League Soccer (MLS). Bayern Munich saw immense potential in the young player and made repeated attempts to sign him, but Manchester United reportedly turned down the opportunity.
Fast forward to today, and Davies has become a key player for Bayern Munich, making over 100 appearances for the club and winning several titles, including the Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal, and Champions League.
The 22-year-old has also become a regular for the Canadian national team, earning over 30 caps and scoring several important goals.
Manchester United's decision to ignore Bayern's calls has been widely criticized, with many pundits and fans questioning the club's scouting and transfer strategy.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich has reaped the rewards of their persistence, with Davies developing into one of the top left-backs in the world.
