Number 9. Owen Hargreaves

Hargreaves, a midfielder, joined Manchester United in 2007 for £17 million, after a long negotiation period with Bayern Munich, his former club.

Sir Alex Ferguson would later go on to call him one of the most disappointing signings of his long career in his autobiography.
