He is Kanté's successor, he could have joined Manchester United for $5 million, now he costs a fortune

Moisés Caicedo is currently one of the best midfielders in the world. It also became the most expensive signing in the history of the Premier League with a value of $146 million dollars paid by Chelsea. Something that few knew is that he could have joined Manchester United for the minimum amount of $5 million dollars, but the 'red devils' ultimately regretted it even though the signing was practically done.

  The unusual reason why Manchester United rejected James Rodríguez, then they regretted it

It was an open secret that Manchester United had been in the footsteps of Moisés Caicedo for several years. It was even the team most interested in getting him out of Independiente del Valle, however, due to problems with representatives, the Red Devils gave up on the player.

After Manchester United terminated its contract with Frenchman Paul Pogba, it has not found a player with these characteristics and for this reason the mixed midfielder position was free. This is where Moisés Caicedo came in, who performs the “box to box” function and in the recent Premier League match with Chelsea the Ecuadorian showed why they paid so much for him.

Manchester United lost their opportunity, because today Moisés Caicedo is the undisputed starter at Chelsea and his value is stratospheric. Nowadays it can be said that he is an elite player with great projection, even at Chelsea he was already given the captaincy in some games and the fans are increasingly happy with his performance.
