Sir Alex Ferguson made Manchester United one of the greatest clubs in Europe during his 27 years as Manchester United manager. However, after Ferguson’s departure, Manchester United haven’t been that club every opponent used to dread being up against.
The Red Devils haven’t won a single Premier League title after Ferguson’s departure and have won only 5 titles so far. They have won a European crown though, the Europa League in 2016-17.
Football Magazine FourFourTwo have ranked all the signings after Sir Alex’s departure.
Ander Herrera is considered by the magazine to be Manchester United’s best signing after Sir Alex’s departure. Herrera joined Manchester United from Athletic Bilbao in 2014 and has made 187 appearances for the club so far, scoring 20 goals and providing 27 assists.
At second place, there is Zlatan Ibrahimovic who joined Manchester United from PSG on a free transfer in 2016. The Swedish striker made 53 appearances for Manchester United, scoring 29 goals and providing 10 assists.
Manchester United’s most expensive signing Paul Pogba is 3rd on the list. The midfielder has been United’s best player this season and is in the PFA Team of the Year.
Anthony Martial and Romelu Lukaku are 4th and 5th respectively. As far as the bottom of the list is concerned, Alexis Sanchez is 30th. The Chilean’s performances aren’t as good as his wages which is the reason why a few top players are refusing to sign new contracts. Radamel Falcao who had a forgettable stint at Old Trafford is 29th while Barcelona legend Victor Valdes is 28th.
