Man Utd goalkeeper, ex-Liverpool front three feature in worst free transfer XI
Even for free, this lot were far too costly. The goalkeeper started as he went on by getting lost and being late on his first day at Manchester United…
GK: Mark Bosnich (Man Utd)

After joining from Aston Villa on a free, he was late on his first day, which was a sign of things to come from a player described by Sir Alex Ferguson as “a terrible professional”. And Martin Edwards seemed to realise in the pic above that United had signed a dud. When he wasn’t injured, he was getting stuck into Chinese takeaways. When he did play, his kicking was awful, and this was before goalkeepers were expected to play out from the back. Having come through the ranks at Old Trafford, it’s not as though Bosnich didn’t know what to expect. By the end of the season, Raimond van der Gouw had been installed as temporary No.1 before Fergie signed Fabian Barthez.
