Gonzalez was signed by Rafa Benitez in 2005, but he had to wait over 12 months before he could get a work permit. However, his time with Liverpool lasted just one season before he was sold on to Real Betis. After doing well in Spain the Chilean joined Russian giants CSKA Moscow, where he has continued to impress, and a number of clubs back in Europe are now reported to be tracking the 26-year-old. One of those clubs linked is United - and Gonzalez has admitted he would love the chance to ply his trade at Old Trafford. "It would be a dream to have the chance to join Manchester United," Gonzalez told ADN Radio. "We all know the quality that the team has and of course I would like to play in England again, even more at a team like Manchester United. "But while I am at CSKA I will only have my mind focused on my current team, trying to play and showing what I am doing."
