5 Strikers Who Regretted Leaving Manchester United

#3 Andy Cole

"Andy Cole, he scores goals" was often chanted by the United fans

As a striker, Andy Cole was prolific for most of his career - until he left United. At Old trafford, he was arguably at the zenith of his career, averaging more than a goal every two games he played for the club in his six-year tenure and forming an almost telepathic relationship with Dwight Yorke during the club's treble-winning season.

However, Cole was known to be quite an introverted character at United who didn't really get on with his striking partners apart from Yorke.

Cole ultimately left United in 2001 for Blackburn Rovers - a move that started a slow move further down the league pyramid, playing for a myriad of lesser-renowned clubs like Portsmouth and Fulham.

He was never really in the first team at these clubs and his league career culminated in a torrid spell at home-town team Nottingham Forest, where he didn't even manage a goal.

Cole did very well during his career, but he definitely went downhill after exiting the Red Devils.
