Manchester United fans heckle PSG's Angel Di Maria
Manchester United rarely see players shine after leaving Old Trafford, something they’re well aware of. But the departures of Cristiano Ronaldo, Angel Di Maria and Gerard Pique are all exceptions the rule, with the trio shining in the years since departing.
Pique was highly-rated by United but, after playing second fiddle to the likes of Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic, left for Barcelona in the summer of 2008.
The Spain international has since won every trophy available, including the World Cup in 2010 and European Championships in 2012.
Ronaldo was sold by United to Real Madrid in 2009, 12 months after the Portugal international had first hoped to move to the Bernabeu.
And Di Maria has impressed at PSG ever since Louis van Gaal offloaded him to the Ligue 1 giants in the summer of 2015.
Express Sport now takes a look at how United would line up today had they been able to keep the trio at Old Trafford.
