What planet are you on???? SAF never buys anyone? Hmm, where to start?
5 best signings, according to thetimesonline:
Ferguson's five best signings
Denis Irwin, 1990
The full back was 24 and playing in the second tier with Oldham Athletic when Ferguson signed him for £625,000. But he went on to make more than 500 appearances for United, winning seven league titles, and was equally effective at right back or left back.
Eric Cantona, 1992
The Frenchman inspired United to end their 25-season title drought, collecting four league winner’s medals in his five years at the club. His diligent training also set a fine example that was followed by many young players at the club.
Roy Keane, 1993
Keane, then of Nottingham Forest, had already told Kenny Dalglish he would sign for Blackburn Rovers but Ferguson stepped in and coaxed the Irishman to Old Trafford, where he enjoyed a dozen great years.
Teddy Sheringham, 1997
Sheringham was 31 when Ferguson took him to Old Trafford and he proved an excellent replacement for Eric Cantona. Both lacked speed but their vision and passing ability just behind the main striker made them pivotal figures.
Cristiano Ronaldo, 2003
Ferguson’s trust in youth was emphasised when he signed the 18-year-old from Sporting Lisbon. The Portuguese became the world’s best player under the Scot’s tutelage.
