1. Alexis Sanchez (560k pounds p/w swap deal with Arsenal for Henrikh Mkhitaryan, 2018)
A man who was better on the piano than in a United shirt, Sanchez is the poster-boy for the club’s terrible recruitment in the nearly 10 years since Ferguson retired.
Five goals in 45 matches at £560,000-per-week was awful business from the United hierarchy. He scored a goal every 555 minutes and was injured for a grand total of 124 days during his time in the north.
He eventually left in August 2020 on a free transfer to Inter Milan but not without a £9m pay-off from United. It could’ve been worse, though, as he was entitled to earn a further £50m across the two years still remaining on the deal.
