9. Louis Saha
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2aJ_-MPxVw Frenchman Louis Saha would want to have started well at Old Trafford considering the persistent whining that he exercised in a bid to force through his move Fulham in January 2004. After the London club reluctantly sold their want-away striker to the Red Devils for a fee of £12.4 million, the Frenchman duly took his big chance with aplomb and netted on his debut against Southampton. In the following game, he scored a brace as his new side ran out 4-3 winners in a thrilling encounter with Everton. He would then score against the club he had just left in a 1-1 draw at the end of February. His impressive run of form, seven goals in his first 10 starts, saw him receive an international call-up to the French side and was subsequently inducted into the Euro 2004 squad. Unfortunately for the former Fulham striker, he would be unable to replicate his early-doors form at the club due to a spate of constant injuries and was largely restricted to the role of super-sub during his time at the club, bar a brief few months as the main striker at during the 05/06 season. He finished his Old Trafford career with just 86 league appearances amassed in four and a half seasons, and just 28 goals to show for it.
