Did he really say this? Kind of disappointing if true.

He was a star for Lazio and Juventus and part of the Czech Republic side which finished runners up at Euro 1996.
But he reveals he would have liked to play for the 13-time Premier League winners — and that he turned down a move to Stamford Bridge.
Speaking to Czech publication iDNES, he said: “A regret? 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.”
It gets worse:
The Ballon d'Or winning midfielder is rightfully considered to be one of the greatest of his generation and he's also lined up with his fair share of world class teammates, including Alessandro Del Piero, Lilian Thuram, Gianluigi Buffon and, of course, Milan Baros.
But one player stands out among all that talent, and his name is Zlatan Ibrahimovic:
"In terms of teammates, I've had a lot and I don't want to offend anyone.
"If I had to say one though, I'd say Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He's a striker who can cut through defences, he has scary power and height, as well as excellent technique.
"That said, when he came to Juventus he couldn't finish. What you see today is mainly down to the fact Fabio Capello took him for a half hour of shooting practice after every training session."

Yeah, just the experience of one of the biggest clubs in the world like Barceloan, United, Real, Bayern and Juventus offcourse.
You can see it on the other side. He wanted to play by Man United, but he stayed at Juve because he loved the club too much and after that he came to the conclusion that he wanted to play for an English club aswell, but he followed his heart with Juve

I guess its just a way to say one of the jewvay greats out there admires us and regrets playing for us and admires our player (zlatan). Look at us? Look how great we are, that we have to bend forward to see our red penis.
Nedved's comments were disappointing, no real need for it but then its sadly normal. Neither he or any other of our legends share the same sentiment. We dont have a direct rivalry with Union, so these guys dont see, hear or deal with Union fans or EPL media to know or realize why they are so obnoxious.
