Manchester United haven’t been one of the most successful football clubs in the world for the last three decades by making errors in judgement on their players – but everyone makes mistakes, as this list of seven United players who failed at Old Trafford but flourished elsewhere shows:
Diego Forlan
Uruguayan striker Forlan was often seen as a figure of fun during his time at United, he never adapted to English football and endured some horrible missed chances during his time playing under Sir Alex Ferguson. Forlan became a star once he moved on, however, lighting up the 2010 World Cup with Uruguay and becoming a wonderful talent for both Villarreal and Atletico Madrid. Is now playing for Cerezo Osaka in Japan.
