While Essien helped the Blues to some wins, Giggs had the last laugh when Man United beat Chelsea in the final of the 2008 Champions League.
Giggs played for the Red Devils all his life before calling time on his football career in 2014 to venture into management.
The 46-year-old is currently the manager of the Wales national team and has already qualified The Dragons for EURO 2020.
