A full Italian international who has had success in both La Liga and Serie A, the 32-year-old actually broke into football with United.

He got his chance too in the first-team, and made a handful of appearances under Sir Alex Ferguson in between loan spells with Newcastle United and Parma.

Rossi even got himself on the scoresheet for United, notching twice in League Cup action and once in the Premier League as hopes were high for the then young striker.

However, things didn't quite work out for the Italian at United and following his eye catching spell with Parma, Spanish side Villarreal parted with the cash to take him to La Liga.

Rossi proved a massive success in Spain too, firing in just shy of 100 goals across all competitions for the Yellows. International honours followed as well as a move to Fiorentina, where success continued.

Injuries have restricted the diminutive little striker somewhat in his career, but he's another player off the United conveyor belt to enjoy an excellent career.
