Number 10. Memphis Depay

Depay turned numerous heads when he was first transferred to Manchester in June of 2015, with many regarding him as the next Ronaldo, but he never did live up to these expectations.

He struggled to make plays in the first team and had a hard time getting in games in the later part of his Manchester United stint. This was mostly due to the lack of trust between him and new manager Jose Mourinho, who sold him on in January of 2017 to Lyon for up to £22 million.

After his transfer to Lyon, there was a noticeable difference in his quality of play, having scored five goals in only nine appearances, compared to only two goals in 33 appearances at United.
