Ex-Man Utd star: I joined at the wrong time, wanted Chelsea

A former Manchester United player has admitted he joined the club at the wrong time. Speaking to the Mirror, he said he wanted a Chelsea transfer years before his move to Old Trafford. The player arrived after Sir Alex Ferguson's reign ended, a period when United struggled to keep pace at the top. He stopped short of saying the move was a mistake, but made it clear the timing was off and the Chelsea interest was real.
