5 worst signings of Manchester United since Sir Alex Ferguson retired

#5 Morgan Schneiderlin

Morgan Schneiderlin's dream move to United hardly went to plan — The Frenchman is now playing for Everton in the Premier League.

Morgan Schneiderlin helped take Southampton from the third tier of English football to the Premier League which had Louis Van Gaal and Ed Woodward's eyes rolling for the France International. The center-midfielder got his dream move to Old Trafford in 2015 after United agreed on a £25m fee with the Saints. But it is one thing to play for Southampton and a completely different ball game playing for Manchester United.

His struggles came to an end after playing mere 32 times in two seasons with the Red Devils until Everton bought the midfielder in January 2017.

Another transfer disaster!

About the author

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
