Manchester United supporters wouldn't be blamed for feeling a little bit nostalgic at the moment as the club struggles for form under Erik ten Hag.
Simpler times of year with club legends such as Wayne Rooney, Ruud van Nistelrooy, George Best and Andy Cole seem like a very long time ago now. Stars such as those are the ones who wrote their names into United folklore but it's easy to forget the youth products that never quite made an impact and the transfers that were quickly moved onto pastures new.
