6 players who have played for both Manchester United and Real Madrid

#4 Gabriel Heinze

Manchester United: 2004–2007

Real Madrid: 2007–2009

After earning a name for himself with French club outfit Paris Saint-Germain, Argentinean Gabriel Heinze completed his move to Manchester United in 2004. He soon established himself as the club’s first choice left-back, earning himself the title of being the club’s best player in the 2004-05 season.

He was involved in the team’s title winning campaign in 2006-07, but was losing his place in the first-team. Frustrated with the lack of chances, he demanded a move away from the squad with him finally landing a deal with Real Madrid, becoming the third player after Beckham and Nistelrooy to join Real Madrid from Manchester United directly. His two year stint with Real Madrid saw him win the league title in his debut season.
