I snubbed two Premier League clubs to join Man United – I didn't even know what wage I'd get

Dublin reveals he signed for United in 1992 without knowing his wage, turning down Chelsea and Everton after meeting Sir Alex Ferguson.
Dion Dublin, now 57, has recalled joining Manchester United in 1992 for £1 million without even knowing his salary. The striker turned down Chelsea and Everton after a meeting with Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford, so keen on the move that he signed his contract sight unseen on wages. Dublin played just 17 times for United before a severe leg injury and Eric Cantona's arrival led to his departure to Coventry City in 1994. He reflects that despite the brief stint, his time at United shaped the rest of his career.
