David Bellion was a success initially when he came to Old Trafford as his first goal came in the League cup against Leeds United but then he was constantly found out of form so he also almost never made the first team cut.
So this French man actually came on for the Red Devils ten times as a substitute. But most people say that this was bound to happen as the relationship between the club and the player was scared when Manchester United was forced to pay an extra two million
compensation to Sunderland for the player.
It actually came as a shocker for most Red Devil fans when Alex Ferguson signed this Frenchman as he had only scored once in twenty games in his former team.
It was only a matter of time till Fergie realized that he had made a mistake so he quickly sent the player on loan spells at the end where he was sold.

Sir Alex Ferguson was impressed on this young Uruguayan’s performances in Independiente and signed him to the Red Devils in 2002.

His first goal even came off a penalty kick and this was his first goal scored after a total of twenty nine games scored and truth be told this player never recovered from this reputation in the Premier League.
His form did improve ten folds towards the end as he scored seventeen goals from ninety five games player but that still was not enough for the Red Devils and in 2004 he made a move to the Spanish La Liga.
