11 Players Who Stole A Living From Manchester United

It's no accident that signing for Man Utd is considered one of the greatest achievements in football. As a result the club have boasted some of the greatest stars in the history of the game through the years, with the likes of George Best, Eric Cantona, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ryan Giggs leading the club to success, creating moments of wonder for fans of the Old Trafford club in the process. But for all of the top class talent to strut their stuff in the famous red shirt, United line ups have not always been perfect. Whilst stars such as those have produced some fantastic memories, unfortunately many will not forget the players who have turned out for United who have not quite enjoyed the same fortune and success. Many players down the years have rode on the coat tails of others and earned trophies and medals, but individually the abilities of some individuals (particularly in the Premier League era) on the following list have come under serious scrutiny. Many have been drafted in to the Theatre of Dreams with high expectations of fitting in successfully and becoming integral parts of the line up, but unfortunately former United manager Sir Alex Ferguson had some serious transfer market nightmares. He gave many their chance only to see the men on this list fluff their lines, leaving the red nosed genius with some serious egg on his face. This list takes a look at 11 of the worst players to ever take a pay packet from Manchester United.
