Nathan Ake would not be the first to be bought back by the club that schooled and rejected them...
If Chelsea sign Nathan Ake, they need to hope it goes better than the last time they bought back a former youngster.Had Sir Alex Ferguson still been in charge in 2016, United almost certainly wouldn’t have bought back Pogba from Juventus for £89million. Fergie felt Pogba had shown him and the club a ‘lack of respect’ when he walked out of Old Trafford in 2012, with the manager of the opinion that the young midfielder was an ‘extraordinary talent’ but also a ‘dreamer’.
He thrived there, which convinced Man Utd to fork out £75million in 2017. Chelsea were keen then too, but he opted for Old Trafford instead. Much to his and United’s regret. That seemed to be the plan for Pique – at least it was until recently, with the defender now mired in allegations over his private life while Xavi reportedly has no use for the veteran centre-back.
