According to ‘honest’ Ken Bates, Roman Abramovich considered
buying United before settling on Chelsea. Bates told Five
Live:

“He went to Old Trafford, liked the game but did not like
the atmosphere. He did a survey of all 20 Premiership clubs
and settled on a London club.”

If this is true, then it looks like a lucky escape.
