Top 5 footballers who were underused at Manchester United, but made it big elsewhere

1. Angel Di Maria

Paris Saint-Germain v FC Basel 1893 - UEFA Champions League

Perhaps the most expected and popular of all the names in this list, his stint at the club was also the shortest, lasting just 1 season. Having had to play six different positions in a United team that was struggling to gel its enormous talents into a single unit, he had openly admitted that he was struggling to fit in.

A promising start to the season ended with the former Madrid star unable to find the net even once in his last 25 odd games for United. With personal problems at Manchester adding fuel to the fire, a move was unavoidable and the £60 million buy joined PSG for around £44m, where he now works his magic.
