Veron was very good in the Champions league games for Man U. He was just a bit slow for the prem, also very one footed from what I remember.

samaras, sylvinho, ball, corradi, dabo, fernandes, david gonzalez
pick any and all from above.

You had players in the early 00's that made these guys look like messi...
As for Stoke from what I remember, Rikki dadason and loads of other icelandics, Vincent Pericard was dog shit too.
As of our premiership run, Dave Kitson was wank.
I used to love Veron, thought he was class...much better suited to a different league though.

I didn't mind Vorinin that much tbh. Wasn't great but I'd definitely say guys like Traore were much worse. Diouf was a dick too.
Hard to say that since like rush said we have had a shit load of bad player over the years. If fees come into consideration then I'd say downing Is worst than Carroll maybe since I never expected Carroll to even reach his value but thought downing could have done SOMETHING last season

Probably De Lucas. Absolute shite.
From the Abramovich era... Torres is probably the obvious choice, but I'd have to say Tal Ben Haim. He was free, but he got quite a few games and he was just terrible.

Tiabi was terrible, along with Djemba-Djemba, Bebe and Miller - who'd certainly be worthy of players who reached the first team and were awful.
For the older fans, Will Prunier should be the first choice. Possibly the worst defender I've ever seen in my life. Made Igor Stepanovs look like Beckenbauer.

Worst United signing? The Djemba.

As I said in my post playing in a league that did not suit him, exclusion of better players and fee were my reasons to pick him. I think him having to be played was my main reason as a kid to hate him because he broke up the Giggs, Scholes, Keane, Beckham midfield which was the best midfield Utd has ever and will ever have. I don't agree that Veron was one of the best in the world tbh but he was a great player before United for sure.

Considering we were the kings of buying shite under Freddy Shepard, there's a long list. Worst has to be Jean Alain Boumsong. Not only because he looked like a giraffe on rollerskates but because amazingly we paid £8m+ for a dud that we could have had for free 4 months earlier. At least Titus Bramble got a few goals. Then there's guys like Luque, Marcelino, Xisco, Carl Cort (funny story) and Viana.
Biggest disappointment was Owen. Fleeced the club of so much money and offered very little.

Glauber, Samaras, Vuoso, Peacock, Caicedo, Jo, Branen, Conlon,
Its a toss up, probably a crap load missing...
But for the the King is... LEE BRADBURY.
take the R's out of his surname and you get the point..
