Dong Fangsuo's strange story: “bidon” for which United received compensation

In football, there are some purchases that result from major disappointments, but in the end, the business hazard always takes on the company that buys football. The guy who sells it puts the money in the cash box for the card and doesn't have to worry about anything anymore. If the former player becomes a planetary star or ends up disappointing everyone, it's no longer his job, at least economically. Therefore, anyone who buys an evil match can't do anything but cry for the millions spent in vain for a player who doesn't know what to do with it. Always if it doesn't happen like Manchester United.

The Athletic says that something more unique than rare in the world of football has happened with the Red Days. Red Davis bought a player so weak they ended up getting a backup. The case in question is the Chinese Dong Fangsuo, who arrived at Old Tuffford in January 2004 for 500 thousand pounds, which could become 2.5 million at the achievement of certain targets. The two clubs had agreed on everything, even the possibility of buying was a failure for United. And so Dalian Side agreed to introduce a clause that allowed Unitede to take back the money spent on the Chinese football player, believing that the boy would not be disappointed. Considering Dong Fangsuo spent four years under contract with United, two of whom borrowed in Anteprep, playing just three matches, it is certain to argue that the experience did not eventually go exactly as they expected in Manchester.

So the Chinese club was forced to return 500,000 pounds back to the sender, as if United had kept the bill of an unwanted purchase. However, Dong Fangjos little interested in naming “bidon”. The Chinese withdrew in 2014, and to The Athletic said: I don't feel frustrated. Over the years so many talented players have left United. And it's a rare opportunity to be part of such a club, so I'm proud of”. And of course, even at Old Tuffford they remember with love. After all, it is not often that money spent on merkato is returned to you!
