EPL: ‘I’d have won more titles at Manchester United’ – Mikel Obi

John Obi Mikel, a former midfield player for Chelsea, asserted that if he had joined Manchester United, he would have taken home more Premier League trophies.

In 2006, Mikel had the option of joining Man United but chose to play for the Blues instead.

Before rejecting United, the Nigerian even met with the Football Association and the late Sir Alex Ferguson, the manager of Manchester United.

Reflecting on his decision, the former Super Eagles captain told beIN SPORTS: “I should have won more Premier League titles (if I moved to Man United), but I have four FA Cup titles.

“I’d have been the first Nigerian player to play for United, but I had an amazing 11 years at Chelsea. Fantastic time. It became my home.

“The players, the friends, people at the club, they all became family. We won a lot and had an amazing time. More highs than lows. A brilliant time that I will never ever forget.”
