Former Black Stars and Leeds attacker Tony Yeboah has disclosed that he had an offer to move to Manchester United but he decided to stay at Leeds United due to his relationship with the supporters.
Yeboah joined English club Leeds United from Eintracht Frankfurt for £3.4 million in January 1995. In his second season at Elland Road, he was voted Player of the Year.
"At that time, Leeds were not sure I could play in English football, so they only loaned me for six months and wanted to test me before maybe they could sign me," he said.
"After six months, I was fantastic and I had an offer from Manchester United. But I decided to stay at Leeds because of the way the fans treated me. I couldn't have gone to any other club,"
Yeboah scored a total of 32 goals for Leeds United in 66 appearances and is still revered as a cult hero for the Yorkshire club due to a series of memorable goals he scored.
His volley against Liverpool and his strike versus Wimbledon in the 1995–96 season was among his most notable goals, and he was a regular feature in Goal of the Month in the Premier League.
