Man Utd: 5 Awesome Strikers And 5 That Sucked

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnNqjPzg8k8 "Dong", as he was unfortunately known as throughout his tenure at Old Trafford, was another striker who failed to live up to expectations and caused Ferguson great strife. He was the first Chinese player to feature for United when he moved from Dalian Shide in 2004, but due to work permit restrictions it took a whole three years for him to make his debut for the club in 2006. At the end of the season. With the title already won. Talk about arriving late for the party. He made a substitute appearance in the Champions League and played an entire League Cup game as United lost to Coventry City but that was it really. Dong wasn't even afforded a squad number for the 2008/09 season with his number being given to Rafael instead, and his contract was mutually terminated by the club in 2008. He went back to Dalian Shide and didn't score a single goal in his 26 games there, proving United were right in getting rid.
