Hertha’s midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng could have moved to Old Trafford eight years ago.

 

What did Kevin-Prince Boateng say?

The former Milan and Tottenham midfielder says he almost joined Man Utd from Milan in 2013 but decided to join Schalke instead. Kevin-Prince Boateng joined the Bundesliga club in August of that year on a deal until the summer of 2017, although his contract was canceled just two and a half years later. Boateng has now revealed how he turned down the chance to move to Old Trafford, which could potentially put his career on a completely different path.

The Ghana national team player struggled to find his best form in Germany and was suspended at the end of the 2014-15 season, with the club citing lack of mutual trust and telling Kevin-Prince Boateng that he could find a new club. His contract was eventually terminated in early December 2015, freeing him to rejoin Milan on a short-term deal the following month.

Kevin-Prince Boateng has now hinted that he regrets choosing to move to Schalke over Man Utd, adding that it was his two spells with Milan that saw him develop as a player. Kevin-Prince Boateng told Hertha’s website that he had the opportunity to go to Man Utd. Kevin-Prince chose Germany – you saw what happened to him at Schalke. According to Kevin-Prince Boateng, he got smart at some point. It started with Milan. Boateng played with the world’s stars and learned a thing or two from everyone.

 

A little about Kevin-Prince Boateng

After his short spell in Milan came to an end, the Ghana international went on to play for seven more clubs, including Las Palmas, Fiorentina and Barcelona, ​​before returning to first club Hertha last summer. The Ghana national team player, who represented Germany’s youth sides before playing for Ghana at the highest level, burst into Hertha’s first team in 2005 as a teenager before moving to Tottenham at the age of 20 two years later. Kevin-Prince Boateng struggled to make an impact in north London, making just 25 appearances and spending some time on loan in Borussia Dortmund before moving to Portsmouth in August 2009.

Reflecting on his early career, Kevin-Prince Boateng says he was perhaps too hasty to leave Hertha and that it cost him the chance to play for the senior German national team. Kevin-Prince Boateng said he was 20 years old, a regular – everything was fine. Boateng was at home, his family was here. Boateng was supposed to stay here for another two or three years, then maybe he would become a player in the German national team.
