Date:

Former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has claimed that he would have won more Premier League titles at Manchester United if he had joined the Red Devils.

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, had an amazing time. More highs than lows. A brilliant time that I will never ever forget.”
