Manchester United dominated the Premier League in 1990s and 2000s and had a legion of long-serving players under one manager — Sir Alex Ferguson. This makes Sir Alex's players the most successful Premier League footballers of all time.
However, it all changed in 2013. Following Sir Alex's retirement, there have been multiple internal changes at the club and Manchester United have struggled for consistency ever since. The same period saw rivals Manchester City emerge. Chelsea have been among the top guns from the mid-2000s as well and have stayed there since.
While most players with the highest number of Premier League titles hail from Manchester United, that isn't the case with active players at the moment. We don't see a consistent favorite these days because of the intense competition within the league. The same has resulted in many teams shuffling places between them in the fight for the top spot.
Barring Manchester City, no team has endured consecutive PL victories since Manchester United in 2007-08 and 2008-09.
Without further ado, let's take a look at the active players with the most PL titles.
4 active players with the most Premier League titles.
#4 Fernandinho — 4
Manchester City captain Fernandinho is the club's longest serving player. He is also the only member from the famous 2013-14 Premier League-winning Manchester City side who is still with the club.
The 2021-22 Premier League season is the Brazilian's ninth at the Etihad. He has won four Premier League titles with the Sky Blues. After the departure of club veteran Vincent Kompany, the mantle to lead the team was passed to David Silva.
When the latter moved back to Spain, Pep Guardiola entrusted Fernandinho with the captain's responsibilities. Pep's decision was questioned by many as Fernandinho's age was called into question. Nevertheless, he proved all his doubters wrong.
After the initial expiration of the Brazilian midfielder's contract, he was offered two contract extensions by the club.
Fernandinho's experience and level-headedness is what helps him maintain his place at the club which is full of talented individuals. Following injury-woes, the 36-year-old isn't much of a regular player anymore.
However, after winning the club it's seventh PL title and his first as a captain in the last season, Fernadinho remains to be a well-respected player at City.
#3 David Silva — 4
David Silva had his fair share of Premier League glory while leaving for La Liga. He was a crucial member of the 2011-12 and 2013-14 title-winning Manchester City squads.
The Spaniard added back-to-back titles in 2018 and 2019 to take his Premier League trophy tally to 4. Arriving from Valencia in 2010, David Silva barely missed a Premier League game until his farewell in 2020.
David Silva was the only non-La Liga player in Spain's starting XI during their 2012 UEFA Euro victory. David Silva has won countless trophies throughout his career but the Premier League title has been his best achievement at club level.
David Silva now plays for Real Sociedad.
#2 Luis Nani — 4
Portuguese forward Luis Nani spent the majority of his career at Old Trafford under the watchful eyes of Sir Alex Ferguson. Nani became a Manchester United player in 2007 but couldn't get enough minutes to show his full potential to the club's faithful.
However, he did have his moments of magic and the club was pleased with his prowess. Nani faced immense competition from compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo and other Manchester United attackers like Wayne Rooney and Ryan Giggs.
The 2009 season was when the current MLS star could step up to don a bigger role. Cristiano Ronaldo's high-profile move to Real Madrid saw Luis Nani take on goal-scoring responsibility for the team.
Nani remained at Old Trafford until 2015 before returning to his old club Sporting Lisbon. The four-time Premier League winner currently plays and captains for Orlando City FC in the MLS.
#1 Sergio Aguero — 5
Sergio Aguero was the main man behind Manchester City's emergence as the strongest team in the Premier League in recent years. In his ten years with Cityzen, Aguero won five EPL trophies and played a major part in each of them.
Aguero left for Barcelona in 2021 after winning his 5th and Manchester City's 7th domestic league title. Before leaving the club and the Premier League, the Argentine broke Wayne Rooney's record for most Premier League goals for a single club.
Kun Aguero achieved this feat with a brace after coming off the bench on his last day as a Manchester City player! He accumulated 260 goals across all competitions in the Sky Blue jersey. The same makes him Man City's all-time top scorer.
