The striker Man United released who then went on to become a Man City legend well before Pep Guardiola arrived

Many a footballer have played for both Manchester United and Manchester City.

The likes of Carlos Tevez, Andy Cole, Owen Hargreaves, Jadon – and Peter Schmeichel have all pulled on the famous red and blue shirts during their respective careers.

Some have fared better than others, with Tevez helping Manchester City secure a first premier league title in 2012, while Sancho netted just 12 goals in 83 appearances before being offloaded to Chelsea in a £21m deal – a huge loss on the £73m Manchester United spent to sign him from Borussia Dortmund.

However, there was one player who never even received a chance at Manchester united before becoming a legend at Manchester city

How Manchester United found Shaun Goater

Back in 1987, Manchester United embarked on a tour of the Caribbean.

Hilariously, sir Alex Ferguson subbed himself for the Red Devils during a 4-1 win against Guayana during this tour, but also, Manchester United stumbled across a young Bermudan striker by the name of Shaun Goater.

The boy from Hamilton – a city in Bermuda with a population of just 854 as of 2016 – was offered a trial, which he passed, and later signed a contract with Manchester United in 1988.
