Retiring with Heart Issues

Sergio Aguero, the Argentine superstar who went on to become the all-time leading scorer for Manchester City, unfortunately had his career cut short due to a heart condition. He announced his retirement from professional football at the age of 33, just months after joining Barcelona.

Rejoining Red Devils

David de Gea, the goalkeeper for Manchester United during that infamous 6-1 defeat, is currently unemployed after failing to agree on a new deal with the Red Devils. There are rumors that he may rejoin United on a free transfer. Additionally, Jonny Evans, who made a surprise comeback to Old Trafford this summer, has been playing as a center-back for the team.

Retired and Enjoying Success as TV Pundits

Rio Ferdinand and Patrice Evra, who were both part of the defense during the 6-1 defeat, have retired from professional football and are now enjoying success as TV pundits.

Still Playing in the Premier League

Ashley Young, who was one of United's wingers that afternoon, is still playing at the age of 38 for Everton. Nani, the other winger, is playing for Turkish club Adana Demirspor. Chris Smalling, who was the right-back for United, is currently at Roma.

Other Notable Players

Wayne Rooney, who partnered with Danny Welbeck in attack during the 6-1 defeat, recently took charge of Birmingham City. Darren Fletcher, who scored the consolation goal for United that day, is now the technical director of Manchester United. Mario Balotelli, who scored a brace for City, has represented 11 clubs so far in his career and recently rejoined Nani and Anderson at Adana Demirspor.

City's Star-Studded Side

Manchester City's team during the 6-1 victory included Joe Hart, Micah Richards, Vincent Kompany, Joleon Lescott, Gael Clichy, James Milner, David Silva, Gareth Barry, and Yaya Toure. Many of these players have either retired or moved on to different clubs.
