Midfielders:
Claude Makelele – A Chelsea legend, Claude Makelele is now retired and hoping to make it in management, though he is currently without a club.
Michael Essien – A player whose career has been ruined by injuries, Michael Essien is now a reserve player at AC Milan after leaving Chelsea last season.
Frank Lampard – In a surprise twist, Chelsea legend Frank Lampard is now on loan at rivals Manchester City from MLS side New York City FC.
John O’Shea – Playing in midfield that day, it’s clear things were desperate for United. Now back in defence and with relegation strugglers Sunderland.
Ryan Giggs – Now assistant manager at Old Trafford, Ryan Giggs retired at the end of last season to work under Louis van Gaal.
Park Ji-sung – Working for United still, Park Ji-sung is a club ambassador after retiring from playing last summer.
Cristiano Ronaldo – Barely making an impact that day, Cristiano Ronaldo has since scored against Chelsea in a Champions League final and become perhaps the best player in the world.
