After 30 years since the inauguration of the Premier League, it\u2019s inevitable that a club makes some bad signings, but Manchester United in particular, are renowned for their poor decision making in the transfer market. This has been exemplified further after the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson and the decade of failure since then.<\/p>\n
Therefore, in this article, I am going to rank my top 10 worst Manchester United signings in the Premier League after the departure of Ferguson.<\/p>\n
The Dutch midfielder joined United having ranked 28th<\/sup> in the Ballon d\u2019Or<\/a> nominations just a couple years prior. However, since moving to Manchester, Van de Beek has failed to nail down a starting position under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Ralf Rangnick and now even his former Ajax boss Erik ten Hag.<\/p>\n The Dutchman has failed to adapt to the physicality needed for English football and thus has fallen way short of expectations and the \u00a334.6m<\/a> initial price tag.<\/p>\n The Brazilian departed United in the summer leaving fans with some fond memories but an overall feeling of disappointment. Fred brought great tenacity and energy which United were lacking but his ability on the ball significantly let him down and turned him into a liability in some games.<\/p>\n However, he had great moments, particularly in his phenomenal performance against Barcelona at the Camp Nou which was topped off with a goal. Ultimately, with the initial fee of around \u00a352m<\/a> for the Brazilian, this will go down as a failed signing.<\/p>\n9th<\/sup> \u2013 Fred<\/h2>\n
