10 Players Who Probably Regret Leaving Manchester United

2. Andrew Cole

Matthew Ashton/EMPICS SportMatthew Ashton/EMPICS SportAs a striker, Andy Cole was prolific for most of his career, until he left United. At United, he was arguably at the zenith of his career, averaging more than a goal every 2 games he played for the club in his six year tenure there and forming an almost telepathic relationship with Dwight Yorke during the club's treble winning season. But Cole was known to be quite an introverted character at United, who didn't really get on with his striking partners apart from Yorke. Cole ultimately left United in 2001, for Blackburn Rovers, a move that started a slow move further down the league pyramid, playing for a myriad of lesser-renowned clubs like Portsmouth and Fulham. He was never really in the first team at these clubs and his league career culminated in a torrid spell at home-town team Nottingham Forest, where he didn't even manage a goal. Cole did very well during his career, but he definitely went downhill after exiting the Red Devils.

I am a published poet and I achieved first-class honours in my degree with many of my essays scoring over 75. I enjoy all types of writing, particularly creative and re-writing articles. Despite training to be a maths teacher, my love of english arguably exceeds my mathematics passion and writing is one of my passions in life, alongside my love of football and Manchester United.
