In spite of his off-field struggles, he made a scintillating home debut.
In July 1998 Glasgow Rangers paid £5.5 million to make him their record signing. At the end of his contract in 2002 he joined Southampton, but made just two substitute appearances at The Dell. United were also without the suspended Eric Cantona (who was banned for eight months after he assaulted a spectator against Crystal Palace in late January), while Andy Cole was cup-tied for the FA Cup games. With United a goal up, the winger picked up the ball on the right wing and started on a run.
Such progress seemed genuine cause for optimism going into the 1996/97 season as Royle supplemented the squad with Leeds United's Gary Speed, a boyhood Evertonian, while in the autumn he broke the club's transfer record for a third time to snap up Nick Barmby from Middlesbrough for £5.75million – a player whose allegiances as a youngster would later become infamous in these parts.
Although the Blues managed to revive the deal in time for Kanchelskis to make his debut in the third Premier League game of the season – a 2-0 home win over Southampton on August 26 – he was unable to participate in their Cup-Winners' Cup matches on the club's first foray into continental competition following the post-Heysel ban. He enjoyed such a good season that Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson was alerted.
He was most recently the manager of Navbahor Namangan in Uzbekistan. Andrei Antanasovich Kanchelskis is a Russian professional football manager and a former player. So Ross here and and he's put it away in in.
But Kanchelskis was offloaded to Everton in 1995 amid concerns about alleged financial dealings around the player.
Following the expiration of his contract with latter, Kanchelskis retired from football in 2007. Apart from the fact that he didn’t speak English, he had a bit of a culture shock. His highlight of the 1994–95 season came on 10 November 1994, when he scored a hat-trick for United in their 5–0 home win over neighbours City in the Manchester derby.
Under the old Soviet Union regime, men aged 18 were expected to complete two years national service. Nobody will ever know for certain but Ferguson was resigned to losing the winger. After leaving Krylia Sovetov he was without a contract and despite expressing interest in continuing playing, he retired on 12 February 2007. Even an 89th minute consolation from Robbie Fowler couldn't take the gloss off a memorable result for Evertonians and a breakthrough moment for Kanchelskis. Two years playing for one of these teams was considered the equivalent of national service. He was one of only 13 non-British or Irish players to play on the opening weekend of the Premier League along with Jan Stejskal, United's goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel, Robert Warzycha, Roland Nilsson, Eric Cantona (who began the season still with Leeds United before his November arrival at Old Trafford), Hans Segers, John Jensen, Anders Limpar, Gunnar Halle, Craig Forrest, Michel Vonk and Ronnie Rosenthal.

In an era just before the formation of the Premier League, other than Australian-born reserve goalkeeper Mark Bosnich who had been with the club since he was a teenager, he was the only player from beyond the British Isles at Old Trafford and alone in the squad in not having English as his native tongue.
Kanchelskis will always be remembered as a great player by United fans, especially for his hat-trick against City. It was also the first in the league since February 22 1986 when the contrasting marksmen of Kevin Ratcliffe grabbed one of his two goals in 493 appearances for the club and Gary Lineker – like Kanchelskis a short but spectacular Everton man – hit one of his 40 goals in 57 appearances.
In March 1991, a fee of £625,000 was agreed and he became the club’s first ever player from the Soviet Union. One of the main issues he had was that even in the matches he started, he was often substituted. Kanchelskis signed for Manchester United in a £650,000 deal on 26 March 1991 and made his debut in the penultimate league game of the 1990–91 season, which United lost 3–0 to Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Andrei Kanchelskis had an eventful summer of 1994 for so many reasons. The Florence side had some genuine world class talents and his arrival was expected to strengthen them further. Following goals against Liverpool, Everton, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa, Kanchelskis scored a hat trick in the Manchester Derby, the first player to do that in more than 30 years.
He stuck to his beliefs, which cost him the chance to perform on the biggest stage of all. After struggling to make an impact in Italy, he later went on to play for Rangers (1998–2002),[9] Manchester City (2001) (on loan, scoring once in the FA Cup against Liverpool),[10] Southampton (2002–2003),[11] Al Hilal (2003),[11] FC Saturn Moscow (2004–2005), and Krylia Sovetov (2006).

It had been 24 years since their last top division title, and manager Alex Ferguson signed Kanchelskis in a bid to find a fast and skilful right winger.
He only found out once he landed in Manchester that he was joining United. Andrei Antanasovich Kanchelskis (Ukrainian: Андрій Антанасович Канчельскіс; Russian: Андрей Антанасович Канчельскис; born 23 January 1969) is a Russian professional football manager and a former player. After Nosta was relegated to the third-tier Russian Second Division, Kanchelskis was appointed in December 2009 as the manager of FC Torpedo-ZIL Moscow. Kanchelskis' London-based son Andrei junior – a mere toddler when his dad was tearing down the wing for Everton – is now a passionate supporter of the club.
The 1993–94 season brought more success as United won the Premier League title and the FA Cup, and Kanchelskis was now United's first choice right-winger. His only other goal for the club was in his final game, a 2 – 0 win over AC Milan. With Cantona having returned from a five match suspension, United held off the challenge of Blackburn Rovers. Manchester City were beaten 5 – 0 at Old Trafford. What usually followed was a quality cross or a demonstration of his terrific shooting with either foot.
Prior to Cantona’s arrival the team had struggled to score goals, but he galvanised the whole side. His first season with the club saw him score 16 goals to cap a season of excellent performances which made him arguably the best right-winger in the country. Kanchelskis was born in the now Ukrainian city of Kirovograd in 1969, to Lithuanian parents.
The last few years of his career were spent in Russia with Saturn Moscow and Krylia Sovetov. Required fields are marked *. He was most recently the manager of Navbahor Namangan in Uzbekistan. [citation needed]. Cup semi-final replay with Oldham Athletic took place at Maine Road. He has also occasionally played Masters Football for his former side, Manchester United.
By the time the Merseyside Derby came around, Kanchelskis' stop-start time at Everton had seen him play seven matches but score no goals.
