Manchester United legend Gary Neville has disclosed which transfer stands out as the 'biggest mistake' of Sir Alex Ferguson's triumphant 27-year reign at Old Trafford
Gary Neville has weighed in on what he feels was the biggest transfer mistake of Sir Alex Ferguson 's career at Manchester United.
Neville didn't hesitate to name Jaap Stam's exit as the standout error, a sentiment that's been echoed by Ferguson himself in retrospect. But the former right-back spoke about the Dutchman's departure with genuine regret as he looked back on the quality Stam possessed.READ MORE: I missed a penalty for Manchester United - Sir Alex Ferguson then gave me the silent treatment
"That was the one where I look at that transfer and think, 'He's the best centre-back in the world. No one's beating him. No one's beating Jaap Stam!' He was just a powerhouse. Me and Denis could go forward, or me and Phil , whoever it was, and you'd leave Jaap at the back with anyone. Neville named other iconic players like David Beckham, Roy Keane, and Paul Ince as team-mates he never wished to part with at Old Trafford. However, the exit of 1999 Treble-winner Stam left a particularly sour taste, as it was deemed the most preventable.
