Ex-Man Utd star who flopped under Sir Alex Ferguson is unrecognisable with new look

Sir Alex Ferguson signed Ricardo in 2002 from Real Valladolid, but the goalkeeper rarely featured during his Manchester United days.

The Spaniard only played a handful of times for the Red Devils, but if anyone from Old Trafford saw him now they'd struggle to recognise the 51-year-old, whose locks have undergone a posh trim. Fabien Barthez and Roy Carroll were ahead of him in the pecking order, eventually forcing him to head elsewhere.

Ricardo picked up two caps for his country and returned to LaLiga when he eventually left Manchester in 2005, seeing out the rest of his career at Osasuna. His look may have changed since his playing days but he's still doing his bit between the sticks, playing for Iker Casillas' 1K FC in the Kings League, the seven-a-side competition founded by Gerard Pique.
