Vlasic and Zouma are right up there.
The worst signing/waste of money is Ronaldo. His current ability doesn't warrant the disruption to the team or the negative effect on the other players. Man Utd would do better without him.
Actually agree here that since Ronaldo came back, moving Pogba into the middle has made him and Fernandes completely redundant.

Terrible signing but will sell shirts so that's ok and the Premier League are happy.

It was always going to end in tears imo. Ronaldo may well have been signed to boost shirt sales, but he is also a player who has to be picked. So the rest of the team has to be structured to accommodate him. Which, surely, is the opposite to how it should work.

Indeed, but a good manager would know how to get the best out of them working around Ronaldo. OGS is not a good manager.

Imo a good manager would realise that the 2021 version of Ronaldo doesn’t put in the graft that the earlier versions did. And he might be thinking along the lines of impact sub. But would it surprise you if it turned out that CR7 has a guaranteed start written into his contract ? Wouldn’t surprise me.

Nope wouldn’t surprise, he probably also picks the team.
