It's a well known fact that John Terry supported Manchester United as a youngster.
Speaking in 2006, the Chelsea legend said he even travelled up to Manchester as a 14-year-old to meet Sir Alex Ferguson, who later invited him to one of their games and have lunch with players.
"I was Man United growing up." Terry said in an interview with The Observer.

"You know what it's like when you're a boy, you want to support the team that's winning everything. And my dad and granddad were Manchester United fans."
12 years after making the above comments, the 37-year-old has been tipped to join the club he supported as a kid, months after he left Championship side Aston Villa.
Adrian Durham from talkSPORT has sensationally claimed that the transfer 'could happen.'

He even says that Terry would get into the team ahead of the likes of Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Marcos Rojo and Victor Lindelof.
"All Manchester United can go with is free agents, John Terry is exactly that so why wouldn't Manchester United go for John Terry? He is better than Rojo, of course he is." he said on the show.
He goes on to state that he can see the transfer happening if 'Jose Mourinho has thought about it':

"John Terry would get into the Manchester United team ahead of Smalling, Jones, Rojo, Lindelof. Think of the crisis they have got at the back, think about how well Jose Mourinho knows John Terry.
"He is a free agent, it could happen.
If Jose Mourinho has thought about it, I can see that happening."
We understand that Terry has a special relationship with current United boss Jose Mourinho, but surely Durham's tip is a little off the mark here?
