Pavel Nedved admits his biggest regret in football was not playing for Manchester United before he hung up his boots.

The ex-Czech Republic star spent eight years with Juventus, winning three Serie A titles with the Bianconeri.

Nedved was heavily linked with a move to England, with Chelsea tabling an offer to make the switch to Stamford Bridge.

However, the 44-year-old has revealed it was the Blues' Premier League rivals United who he had always dreamed of joining.

When asked about the biggest regret of his career, told Czech news outlet iDNES: "That I never played for Manchester United, I’d have liked that.

"The transfer was never on the table though, there was only Chelsea.

“I liked the generation of Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs, who 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."
