seems like forever since we signed him. He’s not even 30 yet. Not sure what happened to him after the initial spell in Croatia where he almost had a goal a game. Currently in a relegation battle in Russia

Didn't he give Becks a metatarsal injury which ended our interest?
Mats Mohller Dahli
Memory is a bit hazy but I think we identified him and Marcos Senna as potential Keane replacements. We actually stepped up our interest after the Becks incident. Seemed like a very good player at Depor but maybe just a bit part player.
Marcos Senna, another blast from the past. I was disappointed we didn't get him.

Chose your usernames cautiously, i am living proof of jumping the gun too early and giving FM too much credit
Bonkers that Brian McChoccy has only just crossed my mind, and yet he won (checks notes) 4 premier leagues with utd, and 14 titles overall. Don't see his name much around here though. Apologies @choccy
Victor Wanyama
Just thought of him on the back of the news that Kieran Trippier may well be joining Eric Dier as another ex-teammate of Kane to sign for Bayern Munich.
He popped into my head when contemplating who might be next. Haven't heard his name in a long time, never given him any thought, and had to Google to find out he's been in the MLS for 4 years with Montreal. Thought he might have been rotting in Spurs' reserves somewhere.

Yann Mvilla and Younes Belhanda
Watched a couple of minutes of a YouTube video earlier about a loan signing we apparently made in 2015. We signed some guy called Andy Kellett? I have zero memory of this
He never played a first team match and fell down the leagues after leaving

Ivan Helguera, Fabrizio Miccoli.
Same here, I have zero recollection as well.
Mason Mount
Some hit, that!
I remember that, he was brought in specifically to play for the reserves in the January window or we would have been short of defenders.
Just piecing it together. Reece James (not the Chelsea one), joined Huddersfield on loan on 25th January. We sold Marnick Vermijl to Sheffield Wednesday on transfer deadline day, 2nd February. Bolton then asked to take Saidy Janko on loan on the same day which we agreed to as he could get first team experience there. We asked to loan someone from them in return to play in defence for the reserves.

Pascal Cygan - terrible bald CB for Arsenal.
City legend Bojinov is still playing.
Mason Mount
Alex Souza
I can't remember.
Pretty forgotten that Fergie's son Darren started the first 15 Premier League games for us in 92/93 in our Championship win
Before there was Jadon Sancho there was…
Saidy Janko

I forget there are certain players still playing for us never mind players from years ago
Christopher Wreh
Thiago Alcantara.
Where’s he playing now?
Carl Jenkinson.
Liverpool apparently.
That’s almost an anagram
This is a good one. One of those random Brazilian attacking mids who scores a shit ton. Probably came from the same factory as the Diego guy who played for Bremen.
Hermann Hreiðarsson
Michael Chopra
Finidi George

Quality player. Thought he could play at a higher level but is adored at fenerbahce
Kenny Miller
Randomly remembered Julio Baptista the other day.
He was really good at Sevilla. Thought he would be a monster in England
Giovane Élber
Facundo Sava
In the Sporcle quizes about United, I always forget about Van de Beek
Not due to not rating him as a top striker, just a name that you don’t see mentioned often. Therefore a player I had forgotten existed.
