From 2003 to 2013, David Gill was the CEO of Manchester United. The English businessman has enjoyed several successes including a Champions League (2008), an FA Cup (2004), five Premier Leagues (2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2013), three League Cups (2006, 2009, 2010) and several Community Shields. A stint during which he also brought stars to Manchester, such as Cristiano Ronaldo in 2003, who was sold in 2009 to Real Madrid to become the most expensive transfer in history at the time. However, he does not place the Portuguese in first place.

Indeed, during an interview given on the Youtube channel FIVE by Rio Ferdinand, the former boss of the Red Devils revealed the three most important transfers according to him. First, he mentioned Wayne Rooney. “Wayne, in terms of what he has done for the club”. Next, midfielder Michael Carrick, a cornerstone of the English club’s midfield at the time. And while he had to give one last name, David Gill gave two names: Nemanja Vidic and Patrice Evra, given that Rio Ferdinand arrived a year before his transfer from Leeds. He even added the name Edwin Van der Sar. “We had a hard time replacing Peter (Schmeichel) and we went for Edwin and he was great for us for years”, omitting the name of Cristiano Ronaldo. Something to talk about.
