Marcos Senna previously revealed that he was tantalisingly close to donning the Manchester United jersey until an intervention from Manuel Pellegrini swayed his decision. The Brazilian-born football ace, who famously adorned the colours of Spain on the international stage, rose through the youth system at Rio Branco-SP before switching allegiances to Corinthians in 1999. A brief stint at Juventude in 2001 preceded his transfer to Sao Caetano at the outset of 2002. His tenure at the Sao Paulo club was fleeting, and he soon ventured off to Europe, joining forces with Villarreal after a mere 13 appearances. The midfielder became a standout performer for the Spanish outfit, netting 33 times in 361 showings during a memorable 11-year saga.
