My Zoran Tosic

 

Manchester United turned out to be one of the top teams from Europe under the coaching of Sir Alex Ferguson. This means during his time, most of the players were not that eager to leave.

However, Ferguson had to eliminate a few influential stars when he had to. Also, he had to be a little ruthless with a few fringe first-timers. Manchester United’s a few of the most expensive sales have been given below.

• Kieran Richardson

He came through the academy and had 81 appearances for the team between 2002 and 2007. Cristiano Ronaldo had been a significant obstacle to Richardson’s first team. Thus, he was unable to establish himself as a regular for the first team, even though he was able to win 8 caps for England when he was still playing for United.

Eventually, he had been sold off to Sunderland for £5.5million and he had been the favorite of many fans at the Stadium of Light as he scored the winning goal in 2008 against New Castle.

• Zoran Tosic

Tosic has made just 2 Premier League appearances for Man United after he had been signed for £7 million from Partizan Belgrade in the year 2009.  He said that he had been put in the first-team squad and the levels had been pretty high. This made him feel like it is some other sports.

He said that it was a pretty heavy time for him in the first weeks at Manchester. The winger had then been sold to CSKA Moscow for £8million in the year 2010.

• Alan Smith

Smith joined Manchester United from Leeds United in the year 2004 but his career came to an end when he broke a leg and also a dislocated ankle while playing against Liverpool. After he recovered in 2007, he went on to join Newcastle United for £6million to play regular football.
