5. Ashley Young
It’s easy to forget that when Louis van Gaal first arrived as manager at Manchester United he used a 5-3-2 formation with Young utilised as a wing-back, but on the opening day of the season in a 2-1 defeat to Swansea City the Englishman was unfortunate enough to have a bird poo in his mouth.
This served as something of a metaphor for his form and the 29-year-old has since been duly dropped.
