#3 Peter Beardsley
Signed for a £250,000 fee, Peter Beardsley's is a tale that will always haunt Manchester United. Despite showing promise, Ron Atkinson used him only once in the 1982-83 season before shipping him off to where he came from, the Vancouver Whitecaps.
Fourteen years since then, the club bore the pain of watching their reject become one of the finest English strikers of his age with Liverpool, Everton and Newcastle United. He also contributed a major share in denying United the league titles in 1988 and 1999.
Sir Alex Ferguson did consider buying him back while he was with Everton, but any such move failed to materialise, leaving the club to regret its decision of letting go of the English legend.
