Taibi wishes his time was forgotten here, given he's on so many blooper reels from it.
Players whose stints at United are totally forgotten....

Manucho..

Who was the fullback that started against arsenal when rashford scored his first 2 goals in the league? Haven't seen or heard about him since. This was during LVGs reign
Varela? He played for Uruguay in the World Cup.
And he was actually decent.
Steven Gerrard. Played two games in our academy with wes brown. Had dinner with fergie as a trialist.
Gabriel Martinelli. Had 4, yes 4 bloody trials and we still didnt sign him.
Christen eriksen, was over on trial but chose to go to ajax.
John Terry, again on trial, but chose chelsea over us.

It's not that I don't remember but you never hear of them at United. When was the last time you heard someone talk about jesperIf you're old enough to remember all of them, you should remember that Blomquist was class in 99 and an important part of the treble winning team, with Giggs having a few injuries that season.
Dublin was unlucky getting the broken leg and Campbell was a cheap punt on a young player, similar to the Bellion and James transfers.
Feck knows who Anderson is, so he fits the bill
Anderson ended up as manager of my local club linfield in Belfast so that's how I know of him. It was the 80s he played for United.
Mal donaghy might be another you haven't heard
Always find this baffling, why would you not just take the low-risk gamble and send them on loan?
Its crazy isnt it. Maybe a reflection on the mess utd have been behind the scenes post fergie.
Wtf?!
That and a midfield of him and Schweini getting destroyed at Emirates and being 3-0 down after like 20 minutes. Nothing else.
Steven Gerrard, greatest England player.
Anyone mention William Prunier yet?
I am sure there are a few...I just don't remember them.
Dante Poli
Blast from the past...
We had him on trial back in summer 1997.
Played a few pre-season friendlies, one i remember was at home to Inter Milan.
Yeah. He's a pundit in ESPN Chile now. They mock him time to time with United.
Liam Miller.He was so good at Celtic, just never happened for him at United. Died far too young.

Absolutely nobody who was watching could forget Larsson’s 12 weeks here. Owen also had a moment that will never be forgotten
Macheda scored only a few goals for United and went on to have a kinda insignificant football career so if those goals he scored weren't as important, he'd surely be on this list. But winner vs Villa (and goal at Sunderland) live on forever deservedly.
Zeki Fryers - left in weird circumstances, and everyone seemed to be up in arms, but has had a very patch work career after.
Luke Steele
well, we also said no to Fabinho, Thiago and Kroos
Chris Eagles.
Yes we did but that was more manager specific. Martibelli would have been a decision by thr youth team coaches and youth team manager.
Jordi Cruuyf. Not a bad player but 1/10 of his dad.
There was a bunch of youth players that played in a game under Mourinho in 2016-2017.
The same happened in 2007 vs Chelsea. I think Lee Martin and Dong played.
Wilson. LVG used him for a while but his career didn't go too well.

I was only reminded of Tom Thorpe recently when playing an old Football Manager save. Demetri Mitchell, Saidy Janko as well.

That's right! Tottenham tapped him up but he went to Standard Leige, I think to seemingly avoid a transfer fee or something, then finally ended up at Spurs on about £20k more than we were willing to give him. Just looked him up, still only 30 but has had a bit of a dogshit career for all the controversy at the time.
When I do United related Sporcle quizzes, I always forget van de Beek.
Freddy Adu on trial
Rodrigo Possebon
What did he do?
He got off in the end, it was much Adu about nothing
I've read all the way through this thread trying to remember that name!
Yeah, Spurs tried to sign him but we wanted too much money, so he signed for a foreign club (which allowed him to go on a free I think) and then Spurs immediately signed him from there for about half as much as we were asking.
Worked out well for them, because he did shag all since.
Because when he was on loan he didn't do anything that was impressive.
In addition, maybe we did offer him a deal and he refused.
It's not that baffling when you consider all the factors.
