Or maybe it's because he wasn't such a standout player at Sporting, and it wasn't obvious how great he was going to be. I remember when he first played for Man Utd, he was a little bit frustrating to watch, too many stepovers and not enough end product, but SAF soon knocked him into shape being the great manager that he is.

3 goals in 25 games at Sporting certainly didn't suggest a superstar in the making.
No, because he chose Manchester United over them. Quite simply really.
