Man Utd legend Paul Scholes thinks unprofessional Mark Bosnich was one of the Red Devils worst-ever signing as he couldn t kick a football .
There have been plenty of poor signings at the Red Devils over the years with some of Erik ten Hag s current crop making good cases to be classed as their worst signing of all time.
Scholes saw his fair share of good and bad signings at with the former England midfielder winning 11 Premier League titles, three FA Cups, two League Cups and two Champions Leagues in his time at Old Trafford.
There were suggestions that Juan Sebastian Veron was the worst signing of all time at Man Utd but Scholes insists former Chelsea goalkeeper Bosnich was much worse and couldn t kick a football .
When put to Scholes that Veron was the Red Devils worst signing, he replied: Veron was a great player, a talented player. Don’t really know why it didn’t work for him but what a footballer. I go back to the goalkeepers, when you had to try and replace Peter Schmeichel, which is always going to be difficult.
We had a few. I was thinking [Massimo] Taibi, Mark Bosnich. I thought he was a good keeper at Villa, Mark. He came to us, he was so unprofessional. Honestly, it was ridiculous.
In shooting practice, you normally have like 15, 20 shots. After three shots, he’s knackered, ‘oh no, get someone else in’.
I never realised, he couldn’t kick a football. I’ve never seen anything like it. We played Everton away in first game of the season, and none of us picked up on it, he couldn’t reach the halfway line.
There was no wind, it was a perfect day. But when you look at his feet, size 14s, honestly he was just kicking the floor all the time, big flippers. Honestly, it was disappointing.
