Angel Di Maria was even traumatized by Manchester United. Di Maria had a difficult time in Manchester in 2014 after not having a good relationship with Louis van Gaal.

Di Maria made 33 appearances that season but still contributed 12 assists and four goals.
The Brazilian arrived at Middlesbrough with an extraordinary reputation, having scored 45 goals in 39 games for Dutch side Heerenveen. But he flops the following season.
In 31 appearances for Middlesbrough in the 2008/2009 Premier League, he only scored four goals and made three assists.
Replacing Peter Schmeichel will never be an easy task for any goalkeeper. Taibi was far from the mark when he signed for United.

Newcastle paid 8.5 million euros to re-sign the centre-back from Rangers in 2005. But, it failed.

Everton spent £5 million to bring the centre-back to Goodison Park. After four years at Udinese, his career on Merseyside is definitely one to forget.
The Dane has only made one appearance for the Toffees, having picked up a groin injury before the ball was even kicked. He missed the first few months of the 2005/2006 season.
Dundee has scored just three goals in the German league for Karlsruher SC. However, that did not stop Liverpool from signing him in 1998 for £2 million.
