Man Utd Transfers: 10 Talented Players Who Utterly Failed At Old Trafford

6. Ashley Young

The former Aston Villa winger had an explosive first couple of months for United, earning a man of the match award and creating numerous assists as well as bagging a couple of brilliant goals, but the former Watford man - who was signed for a fee thought to be between £15-£20million - quickly failed to maintain his performances. An injury kept him out of action for a few months and he returned a different player, seemingly far more frail and diving at almost every opportunity. He was a brilliant player at Villa and seemed to be England's answer to that ever-elusive left wing problem, but he couldn't keep up his performances at Old Trafford, and he has faded into another nearly man. Young probably won't be a United player for much longer, as it's hard to see a place for him in Louis Van Gaal's new-look side following his sketchy form over the past three years. The England winger was recently mocked by Manchester United fans for posting a tweet about United's opening game against Swansea. A number of Red Devils fans calmly let Young know that he may no longer be at the club come the opening day.
