Alan Shearer once said that he had no regrets about turning down the chance to join Manchester United in the 90's. The former Newcastle striker was offered the chance to move on two occasions, but Alan said no twice.
In 1992, he opted to leave Southampton for Blackburn and in 1996, Newcastle secured his signature in a world record £15 million deal. To this day, Sir Alex reveals his regret about not being able to sign the Premier League's top scorer.
He told Sky Sports back in March: "Alan Shearer is one I wish I'd signed, but for me the most disappointing of all was Paul Gascoigne."

Of course, Shearer has never been one to shy away from the question about United and has joked about the situation in years gone by, including this belter from April 2016.
The former Newcastle and Blackburn striker has now taken another little dig at Manchester United in his latest Twitter post.
