Former Chelsea player Michael Ballack, who spent 11 years at Stamford Bridge and won two Premier League titles, three FA Cups, one Football League Cup, and the UEFA Champions League and Europa League, was probably taken aback by Tinubu’s vast football knowledge.

“I’m very proud and honoured to receive you (Mikel). I’m a great fan of football even though not much of a fan of your former club (Chelsea). I sincerely tried to watch Chelsea all the time you were there because you are a great talent,” Tinubu stated while receiving Mikel.

Tinubu in a chat with The PUNCH, revealed that he is a staunch follower of English Premier League giants Manchester United.

“Chelsea is not my club but he (Mikel) is my club and we will support his project. I’m a Man United fan to the core,” the former Governor of Lagos State said.

However, when Tinubu was asked about the dwindling fortunes of Manchester United, he replied, “Are we discussing only football today (Monday)? Right now I’m going to play my own game, politics. Whatever is happening to Man United, no one club can stay up forever. They’ve set a great record already and we would be back on top. I think we are around number seven in the English Premier League table now. It’s too early in the season to write us off, we will never say die.”
