Arsene Wenger has claimed he tried to sign Rashford before he was even conceived, his parents were shocked and told him to get out of their bedroom.
The 'Arsene Wenger Tried to Sign' Thread

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Wenger's so full of shite. I'm sure any decent club would've known about any promising players who'd eventually go on and fulfill that promise (plus those who don't.)
Knowing about so-and-so when he was just a wee teenager and actually coming close to signing them are two different things and I suspect Wenger can't or doesn't want to differentiate between these two things.

Who needs N'Golo Kante when you have Red Card Xhaka?
Apparently Wenger has said that money in some way stopped him getting Kante when he in fact spent more on Xhaka.
Does anyone else think of hitting Wenger on the head with the fake arm that Evra bit? I do.
What a clown, so irritating! As if everybody else is perpetually sitting in the corner with a 'Dunce' cap on their heads.

He's such an annoying fecking twat with this "tried to sign everyone" business.
I don't think he tried to sign Falcao. Or Fellaini.
Haha. Well played.
I don't understand why Wenger seems to see it as a badge of honour that he identifies all these players and then either fails to sign them or decides not to, only for them to have great careers elsewhere. Why would that be considered something to be proud of?
"I picked 8 winners at Cheltenham today"
"Wow. How much did you win?"
"Oh, nothing. I didn't bet on any of them"
"Right. So you didn't bet at all?"
"Oh I did"
"Did any of those horses win?"
"No. No they didn't"
Good job.

Yes, he's clearly doing this because he wants everybody to think he's great.
He is a funny guy. (In Ray Liotta's voice)
Reminds me of those guys in high school that nearly got all the hot chicks. Annoying.
I'm off to the Comedy Store tonight, but I'm sure I won't hear anything that makes me laugh harder than this post. Perfectly done.
Zing!
Wenger is like "if my aunt had the balls she would be my uncle". You don't have to try, you have to do it.
Tried to sign this bloke but now he's opposition in The FA Cup. Hope it comes back to haunt him Arsene.
He signed Ramsey though.
Bazinga!
Wenger knew about Mbappe before it was cool. Obviously.
Typical Wenger Why brag about failing to sign someone? Idiot.
At some time you stop believing him and think he's just lying to justify his failure. He can't have seen and followed all those players it's insane.
If he had signed all of them as he claimed, Arsenal would have been with 5 CL or something like that

Somebody at Arsenal needs to tell Wenger to shut up about players he could have signed but didn't.
I'd be embarrassed to know my club could have signed so many class players but chose not to and now they languish in mediocrity.
Top 4 trophy in the bag with that team for Monsieur Wenger.
God?
Old man regrets he didn't sign Carrick.
He did try to sign him, surely?
Was Arsene even alive when Pele was playing?

The funny thing is how many of those players would have still turned out great if Arsène had managed them?
Aweseome
Yes. he made bids for Pele, Rivellino and Tostao as well Gordon Banks and Bobby Moore. In another little-known fact, he tried to prise Abe Lincoln out of the White House to be the club's lawyer but when that failed turned his attention to Bobby Kennedy
Tax fraud XI vs Man Utd transfer target XI vs Wenger almost signed XI
Who would win?

Fill in the blanks. Rinse and repeat. Only applicable to now famous players.

So you tried and failed again and again Wenger. Doesn't that really make you a specialist in failure?
