Owen Farrell will lead England out in a Rugby World Cup semi-final with South Africa on Saturday night but could have gone down a different career path
Manchester United and Owen Farrell have been two of the most talked about sporting topics in recent weeks.
Farrell and the Reds could even have been united as player and club had things panned out differently 19 years ago. Then a budding goalkeeper, a young Farrell - son of rugby league legend and current Ireland rugby union boss Andy - was taken on trial by United and even met Sir Alex Ferguson.READ MORE: One player back and one player out for United
United's goalkeeping coach Richard Hartis was at the club while Farrell was there and told the Telegraph: "Owen was terrific. You could just tell from within a few minutes of meeting him that he carried himself really well. "You can always tell when you meet a top-class sportsman, they have that air about him and he did. You don't know if he would have made it because he was only with us a few months. But we absolutely would have liked him to stay."
