NEDVED regrets not playing for United

The Czech Republic Legend has insisted that he would forever rue the chance of not playing for the Old Trafford club when asked to name one of his regrets.

He told Czech newspaper Idnes:
"A regret? That I never played for Manchester United. I'd have liked that. The transfer was never on the table though, there was only Chelsea [interested in me]."

"I liked the generation of Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs, whom I admired. I was a little bit jealous of Karel Poborsky, who played in Manchester and experienced great matches. I know he still feels that love."

He however praised Zlatan crediting him as the most talented player he has ever played with even better then the likes of Alessandro Del Piero and Alessandro Nesta. Both players played together for the Old Lady after Ibra joined them in 2004.

"In terms of team-mates, I've had a lot and I don't want to offend anyone, if I had to pick one [as the best] though, I'd say Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He's a striker who can cut through defences. He has scary power and height, as well as excellent technique." He added.

"That said, when he came to Juventus, he couldn't finish. What you see today is mainly down to the fact Fabio Capello took him for a half-an-hour of shooting practice after every training session."

The 44-year-old won several honours during his illustrious 18 year career which included the European Footballer of the Year prize in 2003 after hanging up his boots with Juventus in 2009.
