#3 Memphis Depay
The man tipped to be the next Cristiano Ronaldo was given the number 7 jersey by Louis van Gaal.
The Dutchman bought his compatriot from PSV in a bid to bring the attacking prowess back to Manchester United. With 7 goals in 53 appearances, Depay’s stay at Manchester United was forgettable.
Sir Alex was a master of finding talent - be it in the market or in the United academy, the great Scotsman always had a plan.
United had young starlets like Wilfred Zaha - who remains the last signing of the Ferguson era, and a young lad named Adnan Januzaj. The two wingers were promising prospects, but the new United manager Louis van Gaal believed his fellow Dutchman would bring his fine form in Eredivisie to the Premier League.
But little did the Dutchman know that the level of Premier League football is way ahead of what is obtained in the Dutch League.
Memphis did show promise, but was a disappointment more often than not. One of the worst signings made by Manchester United in recent years would have never happened had Sir Alex Ferguson been in charge of Manchester United.
