He was considered to be a future star with Manchester United, but once he started with the bad habits, he never stopped.

Manchester United had really high hopes for this player that was set to become one of the most important players for the future of the team, but he had a really bad downfall as well.

Manchester United has a lot of young players in their academy, but the fact is that some of them actually arrive to the first team and when it is their time to shine they do not manage to do so, and in this case this young player from the red devils had a really bad downfall as soon as he arrived to Manchester United to shine.

In the year of 2012 the Manchester United bought a 18 year old player from the Crewe Alexandra team in exchange of 8 million euros, making him at the time one of the most expensive young players and in fact, he has considered to be one of the british players that had the best future ahead of him, but that all changed as soon as he arrived to Manchester United.

In the words of Nick Powell himself, he said the following, “When I arrived to United I did not knew how to cook, so I used to have a lot of Domino's every single day… There was a point when, I am not kidding, I used to have 15 boxs of Domino's pizza in my apartement." and then, it was all downhill from there for the young player.

Nick Powell present

After Manchester United send him on several loans deal, he was set free when his contract with the red devils finally ended, and now he currently plays with the Stockport team, at the age of 29 years old Nick Powell is really far from the expectations that the Manchester United team and the enlish press put on him.
