Signed from Monaco in the winter transfer window of 2005-06, Evra had a rocky start at Old Trafford but soon started challenging Ashley Cole for the crown of the best left-back in the league.

Central midfield: Roy Keane

A 'hard-man’ by nature, brimming with passion and inherent leadership, the Irishman has led the team out of the tunnel more than anyone else.

A winner of seven league titles and a treble, Keane made his biggest impact on this fixture and cemented his notorious disciplinary record, when he scythed down City player Alf-Inge Håland in an April 2001 derby, as payback for a tackle by the Norwegian at Elland Road in 1997, when Keane suffered a cruciate ligament injury.
