Few players have learnt that the grass isn't always greener in a more brutal fashion than former Manchester United academy starlet Martin Svidersky.
The 20-year-old midfielder was tipped for big things at Old Trafford and despite much of his time being littered with injury, United were surprisingly still more than willing to offer him a new contract last summer. It served as quite a shock when Svidersky then proceeded to turn down the chance to work under new boss Erik ten Hag.
Instead, he made the eyebrow-raising decision to join LaLiga outfit Almeria. We are now approaching the final furlong of the Spanish season with more than half of the campaign complete and yet the young Slovakian is yet to actually play a single minute for the first team since the switch.
