Breaking the Habit - A Man United rebuild
Forum Discussion
I'd think of it as a bit like when United bought Cantona from Leeds. That started as an enquiry from Leeds for a United player(can't remember who). Fergue said "no" but asked about Cantona, and the deal was done. A totally unplanned deal.

That was Dennis Irwin if I remember correctly.
Not often I agree in the term A Player is the difference maker, but back then Cantona sure was and someone like Fergie was able to tame him a bit better than Howard Wilkinson was. Leeds fans were furious for letting him go especially to United, but truth be known he was going anyways
