Bring him back - resigning players who previously left

[Iker Quesadillas]

Alvaro Morata left and returned to Real Madrid how many times anyway? I lost count.

Just once.

But he had two stints at Atletico Madrid too, this might be what you're thinking of.

He was, in fact, good at Real Madrid.

Every time an ex-United player has a good game, there are 100s of posts crying about we shouldn't have let them go, we should resign them, bring them home etc etc (see the Gomes thread).

I was wondering how many examples, from World football, where resigning a player that previously left worked out well.

Griezmann immediately springs to mind, but there can't be that many examples.

Look how Ronaldo back to United worked out

It obviously never happened but Schmeichel wanted to return after his year in Lisbon ( and according to him was going to happen until Barthez) do you think that would have worked?

Didn't chelsea sell Matic then re sign him?

There's not been a single player we've sold in the last decade or so that I've felt like we should bring back at any point

Yes, he was used in part exchange to Benfica in the first David Luiz purchase (who is another excellent example given the fee PSG paid initially).

Wasn’t linking the two. Was telling you who will be the manager and what will happen.

Ok Nostradamus.

Chicarito could have been useful at the time if we ignore van Gaal's stubornness. Even Jose could have utilized him well. Ole would have loved him as well.
Nani as well because we were in a dire need of wingers.

Yup. Chicharito was my favourite United player back in the day. LvG made a big mistake selling him.
