Top 7 January transfer window signings of all time

#3 Nemanja Vidic – Spartak Moscow to Manchester United

Patrice Evra wasn’t the only player they signed that went on to become a legend at the club. In fact, one could actually argue that Manchester United’s outing in the January 2006 window was the greatest ever by a club in the winter market.

The other signing that the Red Devils made in that window was of Nemanja Vidic. The Serbian formed a rock-solid near-unbreakable defense alongside Rio Ferdinand. This was the backline on which laid the foundations of United’s success.

Vidic completed exactly 300 games with the Red Devils after joining them for just £7 million. In that time, he won the Premier League five times and the Champions League once.
