11 Players That Represented Both Man Utd And Newcastle

4. Ronny Johnsen

What a horrible signing this was for Newcastle Untied. After his spells at both Manchester United and Aston Villa came to an end, Graeme Souness plucked him from obscurity and threw him in at the deep end. At 35-years-of-age, the centre back was way past his best and showed that, with a number of shocking displays that had a number of forwards running rings round him. In February 2005, Johnsen announced his retirement from professional football after five appearances for Newcastle. A retirement that came far too late.
