A decade is coming to an end. In this time, English Premier League has changed from head-to-toe. If we compare the start of the decade to the end, we'll see a stark difference. The teams of Manchester exchanged hands as City became English top-tier giants and United took a backseat after Sir Alex Ferguson's departure. Leicester City surprised everyone to win the Premier League 2015-16 cup, while Liverpool won the Champions League 2018-19. 

This season, the Reds may just win their first Premier League trophy in 30 years. Last but not the least, VAR came into action. While there were new things introduced, some people left the world of football. Many Premier League greats hung up their boots in this decade. These players changed the dynamic of the game. Let’s have a look at some of them:
