Bastian Schweinsteigers Manchester United career hasnt exactly gone to plan. With news that the club have had to write off his £6.7 million worth as an asset in their latest accounts, we want to know -- who is Uniteds biggest flop? Vote in our poll below:Anderson: Signed from Porto in 2006 for a staggering £26m and never lived up to the hype, although he did score his penalty in the 2008 Champions League final penalty shootout against Chelsea. Every cloud, and all that. Offloaded on a free transfer to Internacional in 2015.Bebe: The £7.4m signing Sir Alex Ferguson made without seeing him play, either in the flesh or on YouTube -- even Bebe thought the whole thing was a joke, at first. The Portuguese winger made seven first-team appearances in four years at the club, before he was sold to Benfica in 2014.David Bellion: Dubbed the next Thierry Henry, Frenchman Bellion signed from Sunderland in June 2003 for just £2m. It turned out to be too much as he failed to settle at United and left in 2006 having scored just eight goals for the club.Eric Djemba-Djemba: Filling Roy Keanes boots in the United midfield was always going to be tough. DJ2, as the fans called him, arrived from Nantes for £3.5m in 2003, but never really took off in a two-year spell at Old Trafford. He departed for Aston Villa in 2005.Kleberson: The Brazilian World Cup winner was announced alongside Cristiano Ronaldo after he made a £6.5m move from Atletico Paranaense in 2003. That was about as good as it got, before he left Besiktas two years later.Massimo Taibi:?How do you replace Peter Schmeichel? The £4.5m signing from Venezia in 1999 won the man of the match award on his debut against Liverpool. However, only three more appearances followed before he was offloaded in January 2000.Juan Sebastian Veron: Another big Ferguson buy that failed to adapt to the Premier League. Veron signed for £28.1m from Lazio in 2001 and scored just 11 goals before his £15m departure to Chelsea in 2003.Wilfried Zaha: Ferguson will always be a legend at Manchester United, but the Scot was partial to a bad signing or two. Zaha -- Fergusons final acquisition a snip at £15m from Crystal Palace -- made four appearances for the club before re-signing with Palace in 2015. Ryan OHearn Jersey .com) - Yankee Stadium is the home of the Bronx Bombers, but on Sunday afternoon it will open its gates to host the latest addition of the Hudson River Rivalry. Peter Moylan Jersey . And follow TSN.ca right through Deadline Day for all the updates.

Eric Skoglund Jersey . After dropping their final six games of December, the Wild opened the new calendar year with four consecutive wins. Following a loss to Colorado on Saturday, Minnesota rebounded the following night to blank Nashville 4-0, but then had the tables turned on them Tuesday. BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- When Indiana tipped off its regular season home opener, it looked like the sixth-ranked Hoosiers returned from Honolulu empty-handed.Just five days removed from defeating then-No. 3 Kansas in the Armed Forces Classic, Indiana started Wednesday nights game flat on offense, slow on defense, and for much of the first 10 minutes, played mediocre basketball. The Hoosiers looked tired, searching for the momentum that carried them past Kansas.When youre coming off a great win like we had, you think the (next) game is going to be easier, but its not, Indiana coach Tom Crean said, adding that it felt like his team hit a wall.James Blackmon Jr. got Indiana (2-0) over that wall. Blackmon Jr. made five 3-pointers, scored 23 points and grabbed seven rebounds in a 100-78 victory over UMass Lowell.The River Hawks led three times during the first 10 minutes and by as many as five points. But with 8:24 remaining, Indiana found its niche behind the savvy scoring of Blackmon, who had 20 points in the first half.Indiana outscored UMass Lowell (1-2) 32-15 during the final 8 minutes of the first half. The Hoosiers went into halftime having shot 60 percent from the field (21 of 35). Once Indiana returned true to form, resembling the same team that kicked off the season with a big win in Hawaii, the Hoosiers dominated for the remainder of the game. The Hoosiers had an assists on 23 field goals.Big men OG Anunoby and Thomas Bryant contributed to Indianas onslaught. Anunoby scored 15 points and Bryant added nine and the two combined for nine rebounds. The Hoosiers outrebounded UMass Lowell 46-24. Of the 46 rebounds, 19 were on the offensive end, leading to 15 second-chance points.Crean praised his squad for establishing physicality and speed, rather than attempting to establish their jump shots, or an offensive presence. And in doing so, it led to a defensive effort that contributed largely to the turning point of the game. Robert Johnson echoed his coachs sentiments.I think it all starts on defense, Johnson said. Once wwe get stops, defensive rebounds, we can get out in transition and play.ddddddddddddJohnson scored 16 points, grabbed five rebounds and had five assists for Indiana. The Hoosiers led by as many as 29 points half way through the second half.Jahad Thomas finished with 16 points and Tyler Livingston had 14 for the River Hawks.Despite the 22-point loss, UMass Lowell coach Pat Duquette found very little to be disappointed about.I dont think we were too affected by the atmosphere. We dont play in arenas like this. We dont play in front of a crowd like this. I was happy that our guys didnt get distracted by that and stuck to the game plan, Duquette said. For us to score 78 points against a really talented Indiana team on their home court, thats a great sign. I think they are a legitimate top five team.BIG PICTURE: Indiana will have three more games to build on the big win over Kansas. The Hoosiers next three games are against mid-majors before they host North Carolina on Nov. 30. The Hoosiers other notable non-conference game comes on Dec. 17 when they face Butler at Bankers Life Fieldhouse before kicking off Big Ten Conference play against Nebraska on Dec. 28. Indianas final non-conference game is a showdown with No. 12 Louisville at Bankers Life on New Years Eve.CENTURY CLUB: With Indianas 103-99 win over Kansas and its 100-78 beat down of UMass Lowell, the Hoosiers scored 100 points in consecutive games for the first time since 2005. Wednesdays game marked the first time Indiana opened the season with back-to-back games with at least 100 points since 1992-93.TURNING POINTS: With 8:24 to play in the first half, Indiana opened a 14-2 run that would give the Hoosiers a comfortable halftime lead. And with 17 minutes left in the second half, the Hoosiers ignited an 18-2 run that ultimately put the game out of reach.UP NEXT:UMass Lowell travels to IPFW on Saturday.Indiana hosts Liberty on Saturday.
