Anderson
The Brazilian was once thought to be one of United's great signing but Anderson failed to perform consistently and ended up being labeled as one of the worst signings made by Sir Alex Ferguson. His initial performances had him being compared to Wayne Rooney courtesy of both the players' debut seasons but where Wayne performed at the highest level season after season, Anderson failed to live up the hype.
The Brazilian spent 8 years at Manchester United winning trophy after trophy but was mostly used as a backup midfielder. Anderson's career went dwindling down as he reached new low season after season. He joined Brazilian side Internacional on a 4-year contract but couldn't establish himself at the Brazilian club and was sent on loan to another Brazilian team- Coritiba. Things didn't work out there as well as Anderson was soon released and now is a free agent. It is a shame that a player who was once considered the next big thing couldn't fulfill his potential.
Michael Carrick
The former Manchester United midfielder might go down as one of the most underrated players of all time. Michael Carrick spent 12 seasons at Manchester uniter, winning a plethora of titles including 5 Premier League medals.
The midfield maestro started in Sir Alex Ferguson's last premier league as the chief commander in the midfield and was as classy as usual. The former Spurs man had the ability to control the tempo of the game. In a physical league that is English Premier League, players like Michael Carrick are a rare breed.
Carrick retired from club football at the end of 2017-18 season and was immediately offered a coaching job at his beloved club. The midfield maestro is currently a part of Manchester United's first-team coaching staff.
Tom Cleverley
The Englishman was once the hottest midfield property in English Premier League. His initial performances for the Red Devils had the English fans excited. Unfortunately, things didn't work out for Cleverley post-Sir Alex era as he struggled to get game time under rest of the managers.
Sir Alex once identified tom as the homegrown replacement of the legendary United midfielder Paul Scholes but it is fair to say things went on a different path for the English international.
Cleverley left Manchester United in 2015 to join Everton. Tom spent 2 years at the Merseyside club before moving to Watford. The Englishman is seen playing for Watford these days but the initial spark shown by him under Sir Alex Ferguson is still missing.
Shinji Kagawa
The majestic playmaker from Japan was a delightful footballer. The Japanese attacker was signed by Sir Alex from Borussia Dortmund in 2012. Kagawa made an instant impact and became one of the most promising players in the Premier League.
The Japanese star did get on the scoresheet in Sir Alex Ferguson's last match as United drew 5-5 with West Brom. Kagawa won the League in his very first season with Manchester United. Post sir Alex's retirement, Kagawa was never the same. He was often overlooked by David Moyes and as a result, Kagawa moved to his former club Borussia Dortmund.
The Japanese attacker is still playing for the German outfit in the Bundesliga.
