Manchester United have struggled to add to their illustrious trophy cabinet since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013, with some top players failing to win much, or anything, while at the club.
The Red Devils haven’t lifted any silverware since Jose Mourinho led them to the Europa League in 2017. In that time, players have left and gone on to win trophies elsewhere.
Here are the 10 players to have left Old Trafford since 2017 and gone on to win silverware in one of Europe’s top-flight leagues.
Ander Herrera
Having allowed his contract to expire in the summer of 2019, Herrera left United after five years to become part of the PSG project in the French capital.
Reuniting with Angel Di Maria, Herrera added some extra bite to PSG’s midfield, and his debut season ended with a domestic Treble as well as a runner-up finish in the Champions League.
PSG retained the Coupe de France in 2020-21 and regained their Ligue 1 title last year before Herrera was packed off to Athletic Bilbao.

The defender also helped Inter win the 2021 Supercoppa Italiana, setting up their winning goal against Juventus.

The former England international, who made over 250 appearances across eight and a half years at United, made 23 Serie A appearances in Inter’s long-awaited Scudetto win.
“It’s obviously nice to win the Premier League and then to go to a new league and win that as well is just incredible, an unbelievable feeling,” Young told Sky Sports.
“It’s never easy to leave a club in January, but I’m looking back now and I think I made the right decision. I always wanted to go out and win. I’ve got that ambition, drive and desire to win.
“Obviously the first season we got to the Europa League final which unfortunately we…
