Top 10 players Manchester United regret selling

Manchester United rectified their mistake by re-signing Paul Pogba

He might have a god-like stature at Manchester United, but the error leading to Paul Pogba's sale proves Sir Alex Ferguson is much like anyone of us - human. Pogba's departure for free and acquisition for a world record £89 million transfer fee was enough for them to become somewhat of a laughing stock for many, considering the gigantic fee they paid to bring the Frenchman back to Old Trafford. The transfer cost them a huge chunk of cash in lieu of their manager's mistake.

Pogba left because of Sir Alex's preference in setting up his team. In spite of showing promise, he found himself behind the likes of Tom Cleverley, Darron Gibson and Anderson. The return of Paul Scholes further damaged his chances of sitting tight at Old Trafford. The final straw came in a league game against Blackburn when the gaffer selected Rafael Da Silva as Park Ji Sung's partner in midfield ahead of Pogba. The young midfielder was quick to seal a Bosman transfer to Juventus the following summer.

Everyone is aware of what happened next. The Frenchman left no stone unturned in making the legendary manager regret the decision as he transformed into a world-class midfielder. Since then, Manchester United have rectified the error, albeit at a really hefty price tag. That amount of money could definitely have been used in making another marquee signing.
