The 3 most successful contracts at the Winter transfer market in Man Utd history

The winter transfer market is not the ideal time to buy key players, but Manchester United has brought in quality names.

Nemanja Vidic

Perhaps Rio Ferdinand is the one whose nаme is mentioned more often at Old Trafford, but Nemanja Vidic was the “fiend” among strikers in the Premier League at that time. Even powerful strikers like Didier Drogba and Fernando Torres admitted that they were afraid to face the Serbian midfielder because of his solid kicking style and not being afraid of contact.

Landing at Old Trafford for a transfer fee of about 7 million pounds, if calculated according to inflation, that number is only 12.6 million pounds at the present time. This is a relatively modest value if you look at the prices of today’s top midfielders like Virgil van Dijk or Harry Maguire.

 Vidic and Ferdinand form a good duo to help Sir Alex’s army dominate the domestic tournament.

Becoming a very good partner with Ferdinand in defense, this duo helped the Red Devils win 5 Premier League titles, 1 Champions League, FIFA Club World Cup, 3 Carabao Cups and 7 Community Shields.

Patrice Evra

The French left-back joined the Red Devils on January 11, 2006 for a transfer fee of only £5.5 million. This is the second contract after Nemanja Vidic in that same January. Sir Alex was very happy at that time and in fact it has been proven that Evra is one of the best left backs in Manchester United history. 

At that time, Evra had an extremely impressive performance when helping AS Monaco reach the Champions League final and had 5 caps for the French national team. However, the departure of Didier Deschamps also caused the French defender to join MU shortly thereafter.

With 379 appearances, scoring 10 goals and 38 assists, the former Marseille player contributed to Sir Alex creating a successful era at Man Utd by dominating the domestic league as well as lifting the prestigious Champions League Cup. 2007/2008 season price.

Bruno Fernandes

 Although there is still much debate about his strength, it cannot be denied that Bruno is one of Man Utd’s most successful contracts in the winter market. The Portuguese midfielder arrived at Old Trafford in the final days of the transfer market and became the nаme “carrying the team” from that time to the present.

 Solskjaer’s biggest success was bringing Bruno to Old Trafford.

Through many different coaches such as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Ralf Rangnick or Erik Ten Hag, the former Sporting CP player is still the main nucleus in MU’s playing style. With both the ability to pass suԀԀenly as well as quickly change states, he and with Marcus Rashford create an extremely compatible duo in аttаck.

This was not a very successful season for Bruno as he proved ineffective in decisive passes. However, the success of this contract cannot be denied as the 29-year-old midfielder has 70 goals and 59 assists after 213 appearances for MU.
