United’s recruitment of the Czech midfielder is very much a lesson about not signing players off the back of international tournaments. Poborsky lit up Euro ’96, helping his country to the final, where they lost to Germany.

The playmaker started just 17 times for United over a two-year period before being shipped out to Benfica. He did demonstrate more of his talent in Portugal but he never hit the heights many expected.
