Man United tried to sign Bojan when he was a teenager
According to the father of the Stoke City forward both the Red Devils and the Blues were interested in his son back when he was a FC Barcelona trainee.
Bojan has had a varied career to date with spells at AC Milan and Ajax – as well as Barca and now the Potteries – and his dad says he could have arrived in England so much earlier.
“I remember United were interested in him when he was 16 at Barcelona. Chelsea were very serious, too, a year or two later, just before he signed a new deal,” Bojan senior told the Mail on Sunday.
