10: Jordi Cruyff

The son of the great Johan, the Dutchman arrived on a wave of publicity in the summer of 1996 from FC Barcelona for a fee of £1.4 million, however, despite remaining at Old Trafford for the duration of his four-year contract, the Netherlands international never managed to truly cut it at the Theatre of Dreams and he left for Alaves in 2000.

 

9: Alan Smith

Bought from arch-rivals Leeds United following their shock relegation to the Championship in 2004 for £7m, with manager Sir Alex Ferguson hoping the blond-haired English midfield scrapper would eventually take over from legendary club captain Roy Keane in the centre of the park.

But a succession of debilitating injuries, including a terrible broken leg, stymied his progress in the north west and he was eventually offloaded to Newcastle United three years later for £6m.
