Can't be lukaku, at least he actually scored goals. Di Maria was a ridiculously poor signing but we got some money back.


Sanchez was absolute turd

And 99% of us were absolutely buzzing he'd signed (I was). But yeah, clear quite early that he wasn't a United player. Dogshit.

Mame Biram Diouf was rather toilet

Garry.

But I’ll raise you: Alan Foggon and Tommy Baldwin.

Both Tommy Doc specials.

Remember being up at Roker Park. Freezing winters day in Div2, and as the players came out of the tunnel, being horrified at this pear shaped vision that emerged, looking like my mate’s dad, complete with fully installed beer gut. Tommy Baldwin, one of the Doc’s old boys from Chelsea. Didn’t even know we’d signed him a couple of days before. Made Weggy look like Maradonna. Deary me.
I think both he and Foggon must’ve been signed as back up for Pancho, who didn’t have the best injury record. Think they each played about twice for us.

The shame.

If we are judging on actual output and what was expected of the player, Owen is nowhere near the worst. Brought in as what, 4th choice ? 17 goals, one every 111 minutes.

Last minute winner in the Derby and a goal in a cup final.

Would take someone like him now tbf

Forlan is probably one of the worst I've seen who played regularly. Was comedy at times. Martial has been an astronomical waste of money as well.

Lukaku did what was expected. Scored goals at above 1 in 2 (per 90) but not good enough with the rest of his game and got a fair whack back for him.

His legs seem to give up on him. He was most definitely a Utd type player at his peak. Was horrid at Utd though. Same as Schweinsteiger really.

Hate to agree, but I do agree. He's a boring dipper #@&%!, but he was a non-entity. Easily forgotten that he ever played for us.

In terms of failed expectations and being an utter #@&%!, then Di Maria wins my vote easily.

If the No.7 shirt is cursed, then this piece of shit started it.

The others on this list at least looked like they wanted to play football for us, other than Martial obvs.

Agree it really should be Di Maria. He was an absolute worm. Was great when Young smashed him into the fence at OT
However, i still cant look beyond Lukaku's two 'assists' against city in 2017 and him Lukakuing his chance for redemption in the last minute of last season's Champion's League final

I’d say di Maria if he was a striker.

Thought he was a strange inclusion.

Worst winger ever would be a strong poll.

Di Maria, Sanchez, Antony, Depay, Sancho, Bebe....
