Who was our worse signing. Di Maria. Sanchez or Anthony.
Di Maria did my head in but I think Anthony is taking his place for me now I won't even say what I think of him .

For me di maria. He never wanted to join. He hated MU from day 1 and was looking to leave.
Price if anthony was stupid. He has not shown his quality yet (a maybe we will not see it in a utd shirt) . But I don't question his effort on the pitch. Although the rumored refusal to play left back goes against that view.
Let's see where anthony is after another 12 months. Assuming ineos don't sell him this window!

Guess it depends on how you judge worst signing. On skill level Antony is not the worst. Been plenty of stinkers over the years. By value he’s definitely up there. But he clearly wants to be here and works his hardest, more than can be said about DiMaria and Sanchez.
I agree Antony hasn’t got the skill to be a top level player. And should never have been signed. But it’s not his fault United paid stupid amounts of money for him. He was never more than a £15m player.
Unfortunately we are stuck with Antony being part of the squad as nobody will take him on at a fee that will be acceptable. He’s not an awful player to have on the bench, let’s just hope Amad keeps him sitting there.

The hate on Antony from some is pathetic, many fans just pick players to hate and there is no patience. Antony may come good or may not but the hate certainly won't help. He tries hard which is more than some, but let's just put him in the Maguire, Fred +++ bracket and call him rotten.

It's not hate. He isn't good enough now or won't be next year, not good enough full stop. He goes on his left foot, never have I seen him out in a decent cross, very easy mark him . he sulks like a baby. One of the worse signings in history of man united.

Pathetic inhope. Nobody hates Anthony I'm sure.

Sanchez for me
Can’t remember one good game for £500000 a week.

Antony by a country mile.
Di Maria - club got most of the money back.
Sanchez - swapped for an underperforming player. Huge wages, and signed after his peak. Still better than Antony, and could at least play piano.
Antony - massive amount of money for a player who would struggle at championship level.

Antony, absolute ?.
Di Maria was mismanaged and would have been better with a better support structure at the club.
Sanchez tried but a lot didn’t come off for him, he was the 3rd worst of the 3 easily.

Probably Sanchez from them. Bought at the time we were signing any player that City were linked with.
I always wondered if he’d have turned out different had he signed for Pep.

Of those three Sanchez but I would have Pogba higher than all three, just because of the fact before we spent best of 90 Mill we had already let him go on a free once.
02 Aug 2024 08:31:09
Anthony if you go by the cost and his influence or contribution imo from those 3. DVB the worst ever imo. An absolute plum.

Not sure that’s fair on Donny Ahmad. He wasn’t good enough but our scouts decided he was, and the fees were signed off at the top level. He was injury prone and a bit of a wimp, but he didn’t do anything to my knowledge to disrespect the club like others before him have.
Then you have a toxic personality such as Pogba badmouthing the club, coming in for an extortionate fee and leaving for free TWICE, picking up outrageous money while putting in stinking performances on the odd day he can be bothered to make himself available, feigning injury multiple times when we go 1-0 down. Head and shoulders our worse ever signing for me, and there’s a big gap to the aforementioned players because most of them tried.
I’m not sure you can even mention Donny in the same breath as Pogba and those mentioned above when it comes to being our worse ever signing.
