Manchester United’s top 5 January signings

#4 Andy Cole

One of the most decorated players in English football

Andy Cole was brought in to Manchester in the January of 1995 for a then British transfer record of £7 million. The former English international was not a success straight away at the club due to immense competition for the striker position but managed to get over his injuries and poor form that plagued his early United career.

Cole went on to score 93 goals in 195 appearances for the Red Devils picking up almost everything on offer at club level. He won 5 Premier League titles in the span of just six years including the Champions League in the 1998-99 season when United completed a historic treble.

The lethal striker formed one of the most feared strike forces in all of Europe alongside Dwight Yorke from the 1998-99 season onwards. Cole went on to become the third-highest goal scorer with 187 goals in Premier League history scoring half of his goals in the red of Manchester.
