Nigeria ex international, John Mikel Obi has revealed the weird reaction he got from legendaries Manchester United ex manager, Sir Alex Ferguson after his failed transfer to the club.

Mikel was entangled in a transfer tussle with the Red Devils and Chelsea where he later committed his future to the Blues after he was already spotted at the Old Trafford.

The Nigeria legend said he came into contact with Ferguson during one of the games between both sides but the Scottish coach gave him a negative look but they settled the rift after series of meeting.

“I saw him [Ferguson] one time, it was Manchester United against Chelsea, I was coming out of the dressing room and as I was coming out of the door at the corner he was coming out and I just s*** myself,” Mikel told Complete Sports.

“I can’t remember what happened, I think I tripped up on the stairs, he looked at me and he just walked out. He started chewing his gum and just walked out. He did not say a word.

“It was a death stare. I met him a few times after that and we started talking about it and he forgot about it and forgave me.”

Mikel made his debut for Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League in September 12 2006 against Levski Sofia went on to play 249 matches for Chelsea and scored one goal.

He had a trophy laden years at the Blues by winning two Premier titles, four FA Cup, one community shield, one Champions League and one Europa League title.
