Bastian Schweinsteiger.
He was going to control our midfield and take us out of the slump and on to some positivity.

Really? That felt like a bit of a punt to me at the time.Surprised at no mention of Dwight Yorke. He’d be right up there for me.

As you say, loads to choose from but one that hasn't been mentioned that I was really excited about at the time was Cryuff.Lots to choose from, but for me it would be re-signing Mark Hughes. What an incredible footballer he was, a brilliant target man and hard as nails. Had it all really.
just been watching some classic matches from1990-91 and reminiscing. What a collection of players that was right through the spine Schmeichel - Pallister - Robson - Hughes

You must have had some very detailed knowledge of players from other countries and some kind of fantastic sky tv deal to get excited about two complete unknowns before they played for usThe January 2006 signings of Vidic and Evra. United like they are now was in transition and the team needed a solid defensive backline in order to reach its potential.
Both of course didn't get off to the best of starts but once they settled in they became club greats and hugely important members in a very successful period.
Evra played a CL final before joining us.You must have had some very detailed knowledge of players from other countries and some kind of fantastic sky tv deal to get excited about two complete unknowns before they played for us
Yeh the excitement definitely plummeted once I'd actually seen him playReally?
I was slightly excited about that one, a fancy Dutch winger, son of one of the greats. Then he did the Cryuff turn in the charity shield match.. oohhh. Then barring a few goals he was a bit underwhelming really
