Manchester is a city that is known for rivalries. Between the two football clubs in the city, Manchester United and Manchester City, there is no love lost. However, there have been a few players who have played for both clubs. Here are 5 of them.
CARLOS TEVEZ
Signed by Mark Hughes in 2009, manager of Man City at the time. A huge street banner of tevez in sky blue sent both sets of fans crazy with emotions.
PETER SCHMEICHEL
His final season before retirement saw the Danish legend sign with City. A surprise for all, nonetheless Schmeichel managed to remain undefeated against his old side that campaign during the two times that they met.
ANDY COLE
Cole made the move to the Sky Blues in 2002. Having scored a total of 121 goals for the Red Devils, form didn’t favor him at City where he was also met by injury shortly after signing.
DENNIS LAW
As mentioned earlier, Law got on the nerves of his old set of fans when he not only scored but relegated United when he joined City in 1973.
BILLY MEREDITH
Meredith totalled 30 years of playing between the two Manchester clubs, where he experienced his last match as a city player at 49 years old and 245 days. Making him city’s oldest ever player.
