SKOR.id - Mantan pemain Chelsea dan Persib Bandung, Michael Essien, mengaku pernah diminati Manchester United.

Dilansir dari Express, hal tersebut terjadi pada tahun 2005 lalu, kala sang pemain masih merumput bersama Lyon.

"Saat saya menjalani musim kedua di Lyon, saat itulah tawaran mulai berdatangan seperti Chelsea dan Manchester United," kata Essien.

“Pada saat itu saya sebenarnya senang bergabung dengan United. Tetapi saya berbicara dengan Jose (Mourinho) dan dia berkata jika Chelsea membutuhkan saya," tambahnya.

Benar saja, pemain asal Ghana tersebut lantas merumput bersama The Blues selama tujuh tahun yakni dari tahun 2005 hingga 2012.

Namun masa depan Essien di klub Eropa juga tak selamanya mulus. Pada tahun 2016 hingga 2017, pemain yang kini berusia 37 tahun itu sempat berstatus tanpa klub.

Sebelum akhirnya, ia dipinang oleh salah satu tim di Liga 1 Indonesia, Persib Bandung pada Maret 2017.

Kala itu, pemain berjuluk Si Bison itu direkrut oleh Persib Bandung dengan status marquee player.

Michael Essien hengkang dari Persib Bandung pada awal musim 2018. Saat ini, Essien memilih untuk melanjutkan karier di Azerbaijan bersama klub kasta teratas, Sabail FK.
