3. Ian Ure

The next player who played for Arsenal and Manchester United is Ian Ure. The 23-year-old at the time signed for Arsenal in 1963, having impressed while he was playing in his home country Scotland. He ended up playing his best years at Highbury before making the jump to Manchester United in 1969.

Ure was a prototype for what made great Scottish defenders. He combined tenacity and intelligence with an eagerness to defend every shot, often putting his body on the line. This wrote him into the history books for Arsenal for a lifetime.

Perhaps the game which personified Ure the most was against Manchester United in 1967, when he received a six-match ban alongside Denis Law for multiple altercations between the two players. Ultimately, he joined Manchester United in 1969 but it's safe to say, he will mostly be remembered for his six-year tenure with Arsenal and five-year stint with boyhood club Dundee.
