Chelsea tried to sign the Manchester United star (Picture: Getty)Chelsea made a tempting offer to sign Manchester United striker Benjamin Sesko three years before his move to Old Trafford. It is claimed Chelsea’s interest in Sesko was so concrete they even offered the then-teenager ‘whatever he wanted’ to agree a move to west London. Manchester United kept tabs on Sesko throughout that period and sanctioned a huge £74m deal for him last summer. Manchester United legend Gary Neville has been impressed by Sesko’s development under Carrick and believes he can be a ‘game-changing’ signing for his former club. The confidence, the goals, the finishes… they’re some brilliant goals he’s scoring by the way.
