In recent years, there are quite a few stars of MU have successfully competed after leaving the Old Trafford team. Here are the 7 most obvious evidence for this trend.
There was no one minute to play for the first team Man United, sold to Benfica for only 5 million pounds, but Carreras made it all surprised when Real Madrid spent £ 43 million to recruit him. The 22 -year -old left -back is a vivid proof of the story “MU does not know how to use people”, and that sometimes leaving Old Trafford is really a big journey.
Struggling at MU with 29 goals after 255 matches, McTominay to Napoli and immediately shine brightly. At the hands of Conte, he scored 13 goals in the first season, brought the southern team of Italy to win the Serie A and won the title of the best player in the season. Now, the Napoli call him “Maradona traditional” – something he never thought of when he was still at Old Trafford.
Just a reserve winging plan at MU, Elanga was once considered “speedy and harmless”. But after moving to Nottingham Forest, he fell strongly, helping the club win the European Cup for the first time in 3 decades. With Newcastle for £ 60 million to recruit, Elanga from the “redundant” has become one of the hottest attack players in the Premier League.
Occurrent at MU after the main capture rate because Covid-19, Henderson revived strongly in Crystal Palace. In the 2024/25 season, he played 44 matches, contributing greatly to the historic FA Cup championship, especially the penalty block that helped Palace beat Man City in the final. Henderson is also called the England team, and is now one of the most reliable goalkeepers in the fog.
Moving to MU after the 2014 Champions League but leaving after only a disappointing season, Di Maria seemed to be out of time. But at PSG, he played nearly 300 matches, won 5 Ligue 1 championships, then continued to shine at Juventus and Benfica. The climax is the 2022 World Cup championship with Argentina. Failure in MU could not stop the journey to become the legend of Di Maria.
Not noisy, not flashy, Fred is always “silent workers” at MU. But it was not until the Fenerbahce in 2023 that the value of the Brazilian midfielder was really respected. He is the mainstay in Mourinho's system, helping this team compete fiercely with Galatasaray. While MU was still embarrassed in the middle line, Fred sublimated in the earth.
Buy it for £ 86 million, but Antony only brings disappointment during the time of wearing MU. When Ruben Amorim did not believe it, Antony moved to Real Betis on a loan and immediately played: 5 goals, 2 assists, helping Betis to the Europa League and reached the Conference League final. He is negotiating to stay in Betis for only £ 17 million – the price is too cheap compared to what MU has spent.
