Manchester United was one of the strongest clubs of the first decade of the 2000, with the contractings crash of Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo or Hammered attained to arm a fantastic team that I can dominate Europe and only saw defeated with clarity in front of the Barcelona of Pep Guardiola.

Part of this success rooted in the possibility to achieve important signings and with a lot of projection, like the mentioned in previous lines. Precisely for 2004, part of this list included important names that with the step of the time, did quite known in the world-wide elite.

A photo that began to circulate in social networks thanks to the account of twitter utdreport shows the list of players with which Ferguson had to conquer the Premier League, Champions League and all the possible competitions, speaking of the big tarpaulin like observer that had the Scottish.

Only it made a mistake with a name: Forlán. "Cachavacha" As it is known, went the best player of the world-wide of 2010 in South Africa, figure and legend in the selection of Uruguay and also vital piece of the clubs by which happened, as Athletic of Madrid and Villarreal between the most important. His presence was key for the growth of Sergio Agüero in his stay in the club colchonero.

When seeing the list of players that wanted to fichar, stand out four head offices of big disposition nowadays but that for then, were in the dawn of his careers. I hammered (juvenile of the Barcelona), Heinze (PSG), Kompany (Anderlecht) and Mexes (Auxerre) began to give important steps in the football and Sir Alex Ferguson had them ojeados.

I hammered it arrived to the club and was little time, although it served him to absorb a big experience beside a changing room in which it already began to despuntar Cristiano Ronaldo, for finally go back to the Barcelona. Kompany himself Arrived to Manchester but to play in the City, direct rival of the United. No only it changed by the rival but it turned into icon and figure by years, finishing for carrying the strip of captain and lead the first years of glory citizen.

Heinze Had a go through the United, but between giving rest to Evra and alternate in the head office, finished seeing won by the pair Ferdinand-Vidic, for recalar in the Real Madrid as last big club in his career. Mexes Could be considered the less mediático, however his stay in Italy can be considered as very positive, since in addition to being of the best defenders in the championship the last years, until a goal of Chilean marked.

Juvenile debt

Unlike the actuality, that Manchester hit in signings and in his game, but little in the quarry, since of the names that had that list only can rescue the one of Kieran Richardson, maybe the one who better luck had of that year of quarry 'network devil'.
