"At that time I had offers from Ajax and Manchester United, but then Dortmund came," Pherai recalled to Spox.
“I had enough confidence to make the move abroad. I quickly decided not to go to United, even though the interest was concrete and I was invited there.
"After speaking to Dortmund the first time, it was an easy decision to make. They showed a concrete plan and I felt good about that."
