Do players thrive after Man Utd or were club right to move them on 

Scott McTominay - Serie A winner with Napoli. Jadon Sancho - Conference League winner with Chelsea. Dean Henderson - FA Cup winner with Crystal Palace.

There was a time when leaving Manchester United was viewed as the start of a slow decline in a player's career.

Is that still the case?

Wednesday's Conference League final saw two players, currently contracted to United, on opposite sides in the shape of Sancho, who has spent the season on loan at Chelsea, and Brazil winger Antony, who joined Real Betis on a temporary basis in January.

While United's bosses carry out an inquest into a disastrous 2024-25 campaign, Sancho ends the season with a European winners' medal after Chelsea's 4-1 victory in Wroclaw, Poland.

In addition, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Matteo Darmian - who have both spent time at United in recent years - could feature for Inter Milan when they face Paris St-Germain in Saturday's Champions Final in Munich.

So, does leaving Manchester United help revive your career given Sancho, Antony, and McTominay have all done well away from Old Trafford?
