James and his history with United
In his most recent interview with Rio Ferdinand, a former Manchester United player, James confessed that in 2013 he had the opportunity to go to that team but in the end he opted for Monaco.
“There were talks. My representative Jorge Mendes, has a very good relationship with the club. You always dream of being able to get there, like any big club. Manchester is a team that I saw from a very young age and there were Rio (Ferdinand), Giggs, Scholes, many quality players. Why not get there in that year, but it didn’t happen. I thought I should go to a club that wasn’t that big. I went to France before the World Cup and my thought was to make a good World Cup, score goals, be at a good level and go to a big club and Real Madrid happened, “said the 28-year-old.
