Chelsea's on-loan midfielder Musonda claims that many English clubs wanted to sign him including, Manchester United, City and Arsenal and that Mourinho had big plans for him.
The 19-year-old won both the FA Youth Cup and the Uefa Youth League.
He told Het Nieuwsblad, “It was simple: many English clubs wanted to buy me. Manchester United, City, Arsenal, but a loan was the only option for Chelsea."
“Only one thing matters to me - playing! Whether I return [to Chelsea] or not."
“There was interest from France, Netherlands. My ex-coach Yannick Ferrera, who I speak to a lot, wanted me at Standard, but I did not want to return to Belgium. And in the end I joined Betis.”
