The clubs infamously fought over John Mikel Obi before the Nigerian midfielder
moved to Chelsea from United for £12m without kicking a ball for Sir Alex Ferguson’s team.

Boilesen, who captained Denmark U17s to a 6-1 win over England last month, said:
‘United are my favourite club. But I am very proud that two such big clubs are watching me.'
