May 11th. It has been 20 years since the Glazer family acquired Manchester United. The club has invested more than 2 billion pounds in player introduction, but in recent years, there have been few very successful cases of players signed in by the Red Devils. The Manchester Evening News reviewed the club's first transfer window after Glazer took over Manchester United.
Van der Sar - £2 million
After four years at Fulham, Van der Sar joined Manchester United in June 2005. The goal line master quickly adapted to Old Trafford, and Van der Sar had been playing consistently in 51 games that season. Van der Sar helped Manchester United win the Premier League championship in 2006-07, and won three trophys in 2007-08. Especially in the penalty shootout against Chelsea in the Champions League final, the Dutch showed extraordinary heroism.
Van der Sar left Manchester United in 2011, and during this period he made a total of 266 appearances and won four Premier League titles. Van der Sar is the best Manchester United goalkeeper since Schmeichel left the team in 1999.
Vidic - 7 million pounds
In January 2006, Vidic came to the Red Devils from Sparta Moscow. In the second half of the 2006-07 season, Vidic tried his position on the wing, and then he became a partner with Ferdinand, thus establishing one of the best central defenders in football history. Vidic played an important role in winning that Champions League trophy, and he also won five Premier League titles.
Widic left Manchester United after the 13-14 season. He played 300 times for the team and scored 21 goals. As for the central defender, he is definitely a high-yield.
Evra - 5.5 million pounds
He was in a dilemma between Inter Milan and Manchester United, and finally in January 2006, the French decided to join the Red Devils. Despite the initial difficulties in adapting, Evra persisted and grew into one of the strongest on-field positions at Manchester United. Evra was not a regular starter in the 2007-08 season, but he still won the Premier League championship with the team, and soon afterwards he stood firm.
Evra left Manchester United to join Juventus in 2014, and during this period he won 10 important honors and made 379 appearances.
Park Ji-sung - £4 million
Park Ji-sung joined Manchester United from Eindhoven, which made him the second Asian player to join the Red Devils after Dong Fangzhuo in 2004. Although he didn't score many goals, Park Ji-sung is an indispensable member of Ferguson's team, and he made 45 appearances in his first season. Although Park Ji-sung's chances of playing in the second year were affected by injuries, he scored 5 goals in 14 games and won the Premier League championship medal. He was also part of the 2008 Champions League title, although Ferguson left him out of the finals after careful consideration. Ben Foster - £1 million after loan and serious injuries, Foster finally made his debut at Manchester United in March 2008, but he has not played for the first team for the rest of the season. Foster played 23 games for the Red Devils and won two League Cup championships. Foster joined Birmingham in 2010.
