The worst of the worst: Manchester United transfers

“Why on earth did we buy them?” will be the words that ring out of Manchester United fan’s mouths when they look back at some of the players they’ve bought in the past, and perhaps the present.

The glory days of the class of ’92, the trophy-clad years of the late 2000’s. Both were memorable eras in the United timeline, but while those periods will be remembered best for the likes of David Beckham, Roy Keane and Ryan Giggs, there will be some less-than-memorable names amongst them.

Just as any club in the Premier League, some signings are just unfortunately destined not to work out, and with a club the size of Manchester United and the spending power they have, their ability to hand pick players from almost anywhere in the world makes them all the more susceptible to such failures.

Amongst those who have been part of that un-glorified group of United players that never made the bar are Bebe, the Portuguese starlet who appeared to have lied about his credentials on his CV; Massimo Taibi, the keeper who simply didn’t know the distance between his body and his hands and even big Belgian Marouane Fellaini, the much lamented midfielder part of the current crop under Jose Mourinho.

Who do you think has been the worst United signing however? Have your say in the poll below…
