Former Black Stars forward Anthony Yeboah has revealed that he opted to stay at Leeds United despite interest from Manchester United because of how the fans treated him.
The former German Bundesliga goal king initially joined the Premier League club on loan in January 1995 before making his deal permanent after explosive display.
According to him, he had received an offer from Manchester United after excelling during his loan spell with Leeds United but opted to stay due to how the fans treated him.
"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.
