Febian Brandy. I recall seeing some footage of him playing for the reserves (I think), dribbling past players and thinking of when he would break into the first team.
Players whose stints at United are totally forgotten....
- Thread starter Lentwood
- Start date
Damn, now I feel bad... From henceforth, he shall be known as "Poor Ugly Fecker" to me. I'm sure he's got a nice personality, mind you.
Now, I'm no Cristiano, myself. And my personality is a bit meh too.

How is he forgettable?
I was trying to remember his name the other day. I'm always disappointed when a Scottish player flops.
Dunno. I'd forgotten about him until I read this thread. Then I suddenly remembered himHow is he forgettable?
Most of them would be those who did so much elsewhere then had short, unsuccessful spells here. So, as others have mentioned, the likes of Valdez, Schweinsteiger, Falcao...
Also, I find players like Buttner and Darmian quite forgettable until being reminded of them.

Until I heard him mentioned yesterday, I'd completely forgotten about Matic
Matteo Darmian was such an unremarkable player for us. Didn't really play a lot, and didn't do a whole lot when he played.
The Liverpool goal alone writes his name into folk law.How is he forgettable?
We loaned him to the Real B squad. The following season we loaned him to Frankfurt, they liked him and we’re going to extend his loan and play him in the cup final, idiot ended up getting a tattoo a couple of days before the final and it got infected. They sacked him off back to us after that. He played against us for Copenhagen a couple of years back.
Henrik Larsson.
Him and Schneiderlin are good ones because they were regulars for a season.
Seen an interview with him on MUTV. Lovely guy but he told the most tragic story where his parents( who were separated) died on the same day in separate incidents. Or his mum died and when they went to contact his father they discovered he was dead too.
Massimo Taibi

Keiran Richardson
Fabian Barthez

His stint consisted of one game sitting on the bench according to wiki.
Zoran Tosic
And his stint in goal with Spurs.
And that chip versus Arsenal.
And when Jonny goes marching down the wing the Stretford end will fecking sing
Cos we all know that Jonny's gonna score.
Peter Beardsley
Yeah he was a cult hero at United. But because of my feelings about the dippers his goal against them will always stand out.
Don’t think he actually played a game
Tom Lawerence
(would have been in the Wales World Cup squad had he not been injured).

Same as Platt.
Ronnie Walwork.
Gary Birtles
Gary Birtles
Played against Bournemouth in a League Cup game, according to wiki
What a horrible thing to happen! Genuinely sorry for him.
I genuinely can't remember anything Pique did on the field for us.
He did play quite a few games in that season, and at times looked decent. His career's really gone downhill
Another youth player - Josh Harrop. One game, one goal.
Les Sealey was a good steady keeper that often gets forgotten, bridged the gap from Jim Leighton to Peter Schmeichel well and played brilliantly in the FA Cup final replay in 1990 as well as playing the Cup Winner’s Cup final win against Barca in 1991.
I loved Larsson during his spell.
Correct answer is the names not mentioned in this thread.
And when he nutmeg Galactico Figo
Vanja Milinkovic Savic, the older brother or Sergej Milinkovic Savic
Bebe?

A player who didn't even get a work permit to play here according to wiki. How is this a stint?
Michael Keane?
Liam Miller
I want to say Guiseppe Rossi. I struggled to remember his name while writing this.
George Graham
Cameron Borthwick-Jackson and Varela used to look decent under Van Gaal as a modern pair of fullback.
James Wilson looks to have been completely forgotten in this thread although he scored a brace in his debut, like Rashford.

You know he did a good job when Ferguson picked him as one of the 3 most underrated players he had at United
I'm sorry but some of these are terrible takes. Henrik Larrsson?! Constantly mentioned as our best ever loan signing and lamented by Fergie as not being able to get him to sign. Barthez?! WC winning GK who was our first team keeper for four years? He was memorable for how batshit erratic his Gking was alone surely!
I'd say Ryan Shawcross. Zieler, Kirovski, Pugh.
