It's believed Hamsik was a one time target for United, but instead they went with Anderson. Hamsik is highly regarded in Europe with many clubs chasing his signature, including Chelsea, Juventus and Liverpool.

Hamsik actually turned down a move to Chelsea instead opting for Napoli. Certainly at United we are not short on midfielders, but the talent this lad and his age would make him a good purchase for United.
