#2. Paul Ince:

Paul Ince was another England international who played for both the English giants. He was signed by Manchester United in 1989 and grew as a player under the tutelage of Sir Alex Ferguson. Ince could play both as a defensive midfielder and a box-to-box one. He was also very strong physically and had an exceptional work rate.

He was a part of the United team that won successive Premier League titles in 1992-93 and 1993-94. However, with Roy Keane’s arrival in 1993, Ince started losing his spot in their starting eleven.

A great midfield quartet featuring Keane, Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and David Beckham was formed at United and Ince left for Inter Milan in 1995. He scored 29 goals in 281 matches for United.

He joined Liverpool from Inter in 1997 and played for a couple of seasons there. However, he could not win any silverware with Liverpool and managed to score 17 goals in 81 matches for them. Liverpool had a good team then with players like Robbie Fowler, Steve McManaman and Jamie Redknapp in their side, but those players could not convert their talent into trophy-winning success.
