Paul Scholes Slams Man United’s Worst Signing Ever: Mark Bosnich’s Unprofessionalism Exposed
Paul Scholes has recently set the football world abuzz by naming Manchester United's worst signing in the club's history. This bombshell comes on the heels of a disappointing 3-0 defeat by Liverpool, which left many fans questioning the current state of the team. Scholes, a legendary figure at Old Trafford with a glittering career spanning two decades, did not hold back in his critique.
During a discussion on The Overlap’s Fan Debate podcast, Scholes was asked about his opinions on Manchester United’s best and worst signings. While he praised iconic players like Eric Cantona and Wayne Rooney, he took a moment to address a more controversial topic—the club’s most disappointing transfer. Despite fan speculation that Antony, purchased for a hefty £85 million from Ajax, might hold the title of the worst signing, Scholes took a different approach.

The former midfielder pointed to Mark Bosnich, who joined United as a goalkeeper in 1999, as the club’s biggest flop. Scholes recounted his experiences with Bosnich, describing him as "incredibly unprofessional." According to Scholes, Bosnich's lack of fitness and technical ability was glaring. He recounted that Bosnich, who had shown promise at Aston Villa, seemed to struggle at United. In training sessions, Scholes noted that Bosnich would tire quickly and was notably poor at kicking the ball. The final straw was during a match against Everton, where Bosnich’s inability to reach halfway with his kicks became evident.
Scholes' critique did not stop at Bosnich. He also mentioned other disappointing signings like Juan Sebastian Veron and Alexis Sanchez but insisted that Bosnich stood out due to his severe lack of professionalism and impact. Scholes explained that while Veron was a successful player in Europe, his stint at Manchester United failed to live up to expectations, but Bosnich's shortcomings were more fundamental and damaging to the team.
The discussion has ignited a debate among fans and pundits alike. Some support Scholes’ assessment, highlighting the dismal performances and unfulfilled potential of Bosnich during his tenure at United. Others, however, argue that Antony, with his record of 11 goals and five assists since his arrival, might still turn things around and prove his worth.
Scholes' comments are a stark reminder of the high expectations placed on players at a club as prestigious as Manchester United. The debate over the worst signing continues, but Scholes’ candid reflection on Bosnich has certainly stirred the pot and given fans plenty to talk about.
