Somen is 39 now and back in Austria. He plays for my hometown club UFC Hallein in the Austrian 4th or 5th division.
He was great for Salzburg, but not disciplined enough for the big leagues.
Average players that had the game of their lives vs Man Utd then disappeared back into obscurity

Aaron Cresswell used to wake from Cryosleep twice a season to play against Utd.
Paulo Wanchop.

Mendieta 
Yakubu also was one of those annoying players that turned up against us and then disappeared into nothingness.
A couple of the City lads (pre Abu Dhabi) had one off games where they came to life and then disappeared too:
Benjani
Vassell
Mpenza
cnuts.

Every goalkeeper from bottom half teams in every season ever
I remember that 3-2 loss against Blackburn 10 years ago...wasn't quite the Tom Heaton masterclass we've most recently been accustomed to, but Mark Bunn absolutely controlled the OT crowd with shithousery throughout the 90 mins.

Scored close to 100 PL goals in his career.
I also thought about Afonso Alves immediately after seeing this thread. Top scorer in Netherlands, scored two goals against us right after joining Boro then disappeared the following season. In fairness he did score a hattrick against City right after the match against us so they probably feel the same when his name is mentioned.
Relatively unknown Renan Lodi?
Get your British glasses out of your arse.

Didn't David Bentley manage a hatrick against us at Ewood?
Can't remember if that was the game we had a crack at Rio Ferdinand in midfield?
Went well

Anyone mentioned Josh King?
Some names in this thread are hardly average players.
Wanker goater...and that twat Albert for newcastle
Someone the actually fits the thread I thought he was the next big thing.
I think he also starred against us a season earlier in the CL for Benfica.
Looked a super talent though.
Gross. Fecker always loves playing against us.
Olise will never strike a ball that well for the rest of his career. Dick.
Paolo wanchope
I don’t know why but for some reason I associate Danny Murphy for always turning up against us. Hardly would call it the game of his life (didn’t really know much about his career) but he always stood out as trying extra hard, the slug.
Torres
And people thought mendieta was a bad shout………….
Morten gamst pedersen
Fernando Torres
Unfortunately some players are average, have average games against us and don't disappear into obscurity.
I'm looking at you Carragher.

May as well start a thread “Players who had a blinder against us, were bought by United and then faded into obscurity”…..
I've scanned the whole thread and not a mention of Andros Townsend yet? Awful player that looked like prime Giggs whenever we faced him.
I had the misfortune to see that happen from the Stretford End!
FlopAfonso Alves for Middlesbrough. Scored 10 Premier League goals in two seasons, two of those in one game against one of our best ever defences.
Also, let me join in the laughing at the Mendieta shout:
Jonathan Spector was colossal vs United when he was at West Ham.
Doesn't it say more about us than the player if average players look good against us?
It seemed to happen more frequently after 2009 too when United began to decline.

Zaha, Dubravka and Kuyt
I am man enough to admit when I am wrong. Probably not only one. I though Vardy was going to be one of them. That performance when they came from behind to beat us I thought he never play another good game after it. How wrong was i
Demari Gray plays like prime Eden Hazard against us everytime the cnut.
Amusing how since he's become a pundit he's been painted as one of the great Premier League centre backs.
Dele Ali has to go into this category now
This thread hasn’t worked.
Thank god I've not seen that painting. Where I live I can freely remember him for what he was. A numpty
Phil Jones
Didnt Maguire play really well against us in that Cup game vs Hull?
