Goal takes a look at the top players who played for both Chelsea and Manchester United…

Manchester United are set to take on Chelsea in a crucial Premier League tie at Old Trafford. The Red Devils are coming into this tie on the back of two defeats at the hands of Liverpool and Arsenal, conceding seven goals in two matches.

Whenever Manchester and Chelsea meet, there is a lot is at stake. And this time, with just four games to go in the season, it is a must-win tie for Ralf Rangnick's boys if they want to keep their faint top four hopes alive.

The intense rivalry between the two clubs began at the beginning of the 21st century after the Blues became a force to reckon with in England.

While the rivalry is not a traditional one, the two sides have a long list of players who have donned the jerseys of both clubs.

Currently, two Manchester United players Juan Mata and Nemanja Matic started their journey in the Premier League with Chelsea.

Players from yesteryears like Juan Sebastian Veron, Mark Hughes and Ray Wilkins also played for both Manchester United and Chelsea.

Here is a look at the prominent players who have played for Chelsea and Man United.
