Shay Given has recalled rejecting Manchester United as a youngster.
The former Republic of Ireland goalkeeper admits he felt he had a better chance of making it elsewhere.
He recalled on talkSPORT: "I had a trial at Man Utd and they actually offered me a contract. But I turned them down in favour of a move to Celtic.
"I was a big Celtic fan growing up and United had Peter Schmeichel just coming into his prime whereas Celtic had Packie Bonner, who was 34.
"My dad and I felt that it was a quicker route to playing first-team football.
"He is like an elephant who never forgets. He said to me, 'I still cannot believe you turned me down to go to Celtic'."
