After all, the Belgian was coming fresh from a season where he’d netted 25 goals in 37 Premier League outings to sit second only to Harry Kane (29) in the Golden Boot race.

Lukaku’s first season at Old Trafford was promising, scoring 16 Premier League goals and 27 across all competitions, helping the Red Devils finish runner-up in the league and FA Cup under Jose Mourinho.

Jadon Sancho was one of the most exciting English prodigies around when United broke the bank for him in 2021.

The winger had just enjoyed a season where he bagged 16 goals and 20 assists in 38 appearances for Dortmund, winning the DFB Pokal, while finishing third in the Bundesliga and reaching the Champions League quarter-finals.

Sancho has just 12 goals and six assists to his name in 83 appearances, while he’s been loaned back to Dortmund and Premier League rivals Chelsea during the course of the last two seasons.

However, from his fidget spinner moment to ignoring the run of play in favour of falling out with linesmen, Antony has been a disaster, and has just 12 goals and five assists in 96 United appearances to his name.

The Brazilian was much-improved on loan at Real Betis in the second half of last season, hitting nine goals and five assists in 26 games — helping them reach the Uefa Conference League final.

But rather than save his United career, that has only served to prove this was a match made in hell.

In fact, he had plenty of great moments and was undoubtedly an important figure in the Europa League and two EFL Cup successes United enjoyed during his 233 games at the club — which yielded 39 goals and 51 assists.
