Son Heung-min could have succeeded Park Ji-sung.
Korea’s ‘ace’ Son Heung-min is now worthy of being called the ‘legend’ of Tottenham Hotspur. After transferring to Tottenham from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015, he has been steadily active for about 8 years. He scored 103 goals in the English Premier League (EPL) alone, standing shoulder to shoulder with Cristiano Ronaldo, and scored 145 goals in Tottenham, surpassing Jamie Defoe (143 goals) to become the 6th highest scorer of all time. Although it is somewhat sluggish this season, in the midst of that, he scored 10 league goals and achieved a record of double-digit goals in the league for 7 consecutive seasons.
He became a Tottenham legend. However, these myriad records could have been achieved at Manchester United, not Tottenham.
According to the global football media ‘Goal.com’, coach Renée Mullestine, who worked with Sir Alex Ferguson in the past, said he recommended Son Heung-min to Manchester United, but was rejected.
The moment angered Coach Mullestine. He expressed regret, saying, “After Son Heung-min joined Tottenham, I was annoyed to see his performance for a year or two. He was a player Manchester United should have recruited. It’s really unfortunate. Such players can make a difference enough.” .
There was another thing that upset Coach Mullestine. Willian’s signing was rejected by Manchester United. He said, “I was with Guus Hiddink when I left Manchester United and headed to Anji. After he left, I took the baton for a while. At this time, I was with Samuel Eto’o and Christopher Samba, and Willian was there.”메이저놀이터
“At the time, Manchester United were looking to sign a player. Willian wanted Manchester United and asked me if I could help. I said there would be no problem. Then he called David Moyes and said, ‘Here’s a player. It’s a Brazilian. He’s versatile and can play anywhere. It’s going to be a really good deal. There are no injuries and he’s very talented.'”
But Willian didn’t head to Manchester United. Because Manchester United rejected his signing. In the end, Willian headed to Chelsea and left an amazing record of 63 goals and 62 assists in 339 games for 7 years.
