5 worst Manchester United signings of the past 10 years

Manchester United v Arsenal - FA Cup Quarter Final

The next six days of the transfer window are set to be busy for Louis van Gaal and Manchester United.

The Red Devils have spent over £200million since the Dutchman took charge little over 12 months ago, but still the club are in desperate need of another striker and another centre back.

Wayne Rooney has been leading the line on his own following the summer departures of Radamel Falcao and Robin van Persie, whilst Daley Blind has been forced to fill in at centre back during the opening weeks of the season, albeit to excellent effect.

Van Gaal and chief executive Ed Woodward are under pressure to deliver some more big names before the window slams shut on September 1.

The pair would do well to have a look at this list of the five worst United signings of the past 10 years, and be sure to avoid making similar clangers in the transfer market over the next six days.
