According to Ferguson's book, he placed a bid for Hirst and was discussing a bid for Peter Beardsley when Leeds rang inquiring of Denis Irwin's availability. Ferguson asked Edwards to ask them about Cantona. The rest is history.

No mention of any other players and according to Ferguson the interest in Beardsley didn't go as far as a bid.

There was no official bid for Beardsley. Hirst was Ferguson's prime target but there were also two other players whose clubs rejected Utd's bids that week.

Clue: One of them is English but was not born on the English mainland.
Clue: One of them has three England caps to his name

Can't see why Ferguson wouldn't mention this in his book though.

I heard this question originally when watching highlights of Englands last match, only checking the facts now and it is, in fact a load of crap. Blame David Pleat. Ferdinand has.
Pleat stated that the only two were David Beckham and Gareth Barry. We now have 4. Apologies....

That was the season before when they were pipped to the title by Leeds. Ferguson believes they might have won the title that year had he gotten Harford.

Matt Le Tissier, David Hirst and Brian Deane were the 3 strikers that Fergie tried to sign before he got Cantona.
