Man Utd signed the lowest-rated player in the Championship in 2015 - where is he now?

Manchester United fans were baffled when they signed Andy Kellett on Deadline Day of the January transfer window in 2015.

In a season where the Red Devils had snapped up Angel Di Maria and Radamel Falcao, it was certainly surprising to see the club making a last-ditch move for a Championship player.

Kellett was plying his trade for Bolton Wanderers at the time and was fresh from a brief spell at Plymouth Argyle when the remarkable opportunity to move to Old Trafford on loan transpired.

And the eye-opening transfer was made all the more bewildering by the fact that Kellett held the unwanted status of being the worst-rated player in England's second-tier during that very season.

According to the Independent, WhoScored statistics ranked Kellett rock bottom out of any player to have appeared in the Championship up to that point in 2014/15 with a miserable rating of 5.56.

Kellett had amassed merely 51 minutes in the division that campaign when he was hauled off while Bolton were trailing 3-0 to Rotherham United, which was enough to earn the unfortunate record.

However, United's subsequent move for the youngster made a lot more sense when it became apparent that he had been acquired to provide cover in the club's Under-21s team.

With Bolton taking United youngster Saidy Janko on loan for the rest of the season, Kellett moved in the opposite direction for what endures as one of the club's strangest and most charming transfers.

Kellett had received a phone call from his agent telling him not to sign another deal with Plymouth and that all
