5 worst Manchester United signings of the past 10 years

Angel Di Maria

Di Maria

The most expensive signing made by any Premier League club ever turned out to be a candidate for the biggest waste of money by any Premier League club – ever.

Di Maria arrived last summer for a massive £59million, and despite a promising start, the Argentine never looked suited to life in English football.

He was linked with a move to PSG just weeks after arriving at Old Trafford, and was clearly agitating for a move during the entire second half of last season.

He eventually got his wish this summer, with United selling him for a loss of almost £15million.
