The Red Devils were left short upfront when Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku left for Inter Milan. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s attempts to sign replacements bore no fruits and he had to stick with a squad that’s lean in the attack.

Tevez played for United between 2007 and 2009 before leaving for rivals Manchester City in 2009. His exit however irked United as their City rivals used it to taunt the record English champions with the infamous ‘Welcome to Manchester banner’.

Before leaving EPL, his nomadism had led him to Juventus, Shanghai Shenhua and Boca Juniors on two stints.
