I've just read a piece on the PFA Website where Danny Welbeck talks to them about how City did a Giggs on him and missed out on signing him! Another United gain.
"Born in the suburb of Longsight, a corner kick away from the City of Manchester Stadium, Welbeck was football-mad from an early age and grew up keen to catch the eye of one of the big two.
City, though, were unsure about his ability when they first spotted him, and Welbeck ended up having to bide his time at renowned local club Fletcher Moss Rangers - Wes Brown's former youth team - before he eventually won a place at United's academy."

I wonder how many clubs miss out on talent like this?
