Sir Alex Ferguson: 'I wanted Maldini at United, but Cesare told me to forget it!'
Sir Alex was recently talking to the Daily Mail about Maldini and he said: "I admit that I tried to sign him, he was a formidable player. But when I met his father I had no choice.
"He replied, shaking his head: "'My grandfather was from Milan, my father was from Milan, I am from Milan and my son is a Milan player, forget it" It was a great lesson for me."
