Number 4

Edinson Cavani (2020) – Hit

El Matador’s arrival at Manchester United brought the prowess of a seasoned striker to the team.

Amid a pandemic-altered football calendar, the veteran Urugyuan excelled thanks to his work rate, positional awareness and knack for finding the back of the net at crucial times.

Regan Poole (2015) – Miss

Poole’s arrival generated excitement at the time, with the young Welsh defender showing potential for a bright future.

However, similar to Janko, Poole faced challenges in making his mark on the first team.

The defender made just one substitute appearance in a Europa League last-32 tie against FC Midtjylland in 2016.
