A picture of the former Super Eagles captain and Sir Alex has got people talking online, with many querying if both football personalities have overcome their differences.
Mikel's history with SAF started at Lyn
Recall that when John Mikel Obi was a 19-year-old midfielder who dominated the Under-20 World Cup in 2004, his signature was hugely sought.
Man United, under Sir Alex Ferguson, was one of the teams that wanted to sign Mikel. But after reaching an agreement with United and presenting him to the media, Obi pulled out of the deal and went ahead to join Chelsea.
This was one of the reasons Sir Alex Ferguson carried considerable resentment against Mikel for years, noting that the Nigerian embarrassed him.
