9. Patrick Vieira
Clubs: Arsenal, Manchester City.
The captain of the famous ‘Invincibles’ team of the 2003/04 season as part of an Arsenal force that briefly toppled the power of United.
Won three league titles and four FA Cups with the Gunners during nine years at the club and Vieira’s departure in 2005 coincided with the north London side’s trophy drought.
The Frenchman’s feuds with Red Devils captain Roy Keane were infamous, as the midfielder bossed the centre of the park during a period of glory for Arsene Wenger.
Spells in Italy with Juventus and Inter Milan followed before a brief return to the Premier League with Manchester City, where Vieira is now reserve team manager.
