10 Players Who Probably Regret Leaving Manchester United

Dave Thompson/PA Archive/Press Association ImagesManchester United is one of the world's biggest clubs, despite their torrid season last time out, where they finished 7th amid a series of fallouts and poor showings. After 26 years of Sir Alex Ferguson at the helm, it was always going to be a season of transition. They did not play well at all and players like Wayne Rooney nearly left the club, with the majestic Ryan Giggs also retiring. However, the list of players who regret leaving Man United could still fill several books. These players range from talents full of youthful promise who drifted into obscurity to experienced players who left for pastures new who found out that the grass was not greener on the other side. Sometimes sticking is better than twisting in life. The list of successful one-club men at United like Giggs, Paul Scholes and Bobby Charlton is testament to this fact. However, it is easy to see why the players left the club, perhaps for the promise of a lucrative playoff or regular playing time after being consigned to the bench at United. However, money isn't everything in football and spending time on the bench isn't such a bad thing. Take Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who spent 11 years at the club, mostly appearing as a substitute, but who still managed to amass 126 goals.
