Manchester United and Chelsea are among the top clubs in the Premier League. They even won the UEFA Champions League Trophies, making them among the world’s most prestigious clubs. Both sides’ fans hate each other to the core because the matches between the two teams are intense and aggressive.
Last night, Chelsea defeated Manchester United by a 4-3 scoreline and gave the football fans a cinematic night of football when, in the 90+ minutes, Man United were in the lead by 2-3, but then came to the white walker Cole Palmer, who scored the third goal for the Chelsea to level the score and then scored the winning goal in 90+11 minute of the match to give three crucial points to Chelsea.
Mason Mount came on the pitch in the match’s second half, but some fans booed at him, and one showed him a shirt named Judas. He was the homegrown Chelsea player who was in the team that won the UEFA Champions League.
Fans loved him because he did amazingly well under Thomas Tuchel and Frank Lampard, but after Graham Potter came to Chelsea, his number of minutes decreased. Then he had an injury, which later led to him choosing Manchester United, which signed him in the summer, which made Chelsea fans mad. However, this is not the first time a player has played for both Manchester United and Chelsea. Here are the Top Five players who played for both clubs in the Premier League.

Manchester United then signed him for about €84.70m, which was a heavy amount for a striker in the 17/18 season.
