A great article on Norwich's David Fox, who started his career at Man U (as most ardent MUFC fans will remember, of course)
“When you leave a club like Man United the only way is down – even for the biggest players," he said. “When you sign for a club who are second bottom in League One at the time (Blackpool), the Premier League seems a million miles away. To be playing against them in the league now is something you never think is possible."
"When I left around 21 I had six months to run on my contract. I went in to see him [Ferguson] and said I felt it was time I left. A few weeks later I got a letter through the post thanking me for my attitude and time at the club and wishing me all the best in my career. It is a letter I have still got and one I was proud that he took the time out to thank me for my efforts."

Don't know your angle on this, but there's a WUM somewhere.............
Either way, Cristiano Ronaldo busted that myth.

What myth? That once you leave Man U, it's downhill? Remind me, what has Cristiano won since leaving O.T.?

Yeah, I bet Gerard Piques gutted he left United.

Other than Pique which United players have left the club in their prime and have done better at their new club?

Some might say David Platt enjoyed more success after being released by Man U
