Manchester United<\/a> all made the cut \u2013 can you guess who they are?<\/p>\nFor reference, we\u2019ll only be looking at players who have spent the longest time at one single club. For example, James Milner has more Premier League appearances than any other player, but he has only made 38 Premier League appearances for Brighton. <\/p>\n
Luke Shaw<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
Luke Shaw joined Manchester United from Southampton when he was just 18 years old. His Old Trafford journey has been littered with injuries and bouts of poor form, but he is still going strong at the age of 30.<\/p>\n
Shaw has made a total of 229 Premier League appearances for United, having joined the club over 11 years ago. Were it not for his unfortunate injury record, we\u2019re sure he would have enjoyed far more starts for the Red Devils. <\/p>\n
He has also won 34 caps for England \u2013 most notably, he scored the Three Lions\u2019 only goal of the game in the Euro 2020 final against Italy, only for Gareth Southagte\u2019s men to lose on penalties. <\/p>\n
Adam Smith<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
Adam Smith has been through thick and thin with Bournemouth. He actually first signed for the club back in 2010, on loan from Tottenham Hotspur \u2013 he would join the Cherries on a permanent basis in 2014.<\/p>\n
He has remained with Bournemouth ever since. Now, he is their club captain, having assumed the position back in 2024.<\/p>\n
A natural right-back, Smith can also function as a right midfielder or as a left-back. He is now 34 years of age, but his Bournemouth contract isn\u2019t due to expire until the summer of 2027.<\/p>\n
Solly March<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
Another player whose career has been blighted by injuries \u2013 Solly March has been at Brighton for almost 13 years, but has only (!) made 266 league appearances during that time. <\/p>\n
A creative attacking player, March has effectively bridged the generational gap \u2013 football has changed an awful lot since 2013, but the Eastbourne man has always been able to pose a threat. <\/p>\n
March is now 31 years of age. His contract is due to expire in the summer \u2013 could his sensational Seagulls stint come to an end in July?<\/p>\n
Lewis Dunk<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
Another Brighton player \u2013 Lewis Dunk has been terrorising forwards at the Amex Stadium since the tender age of 18, all the way back in 2010.<\/p>\n
He made his debut for the Seagulls when they were still a League One team, having played a critical role in their rise through the divisions. <\/p>\n
A skyscraper of a defender, Dunk\u2019s positioning, tackling and raw determination on the pitch has always been top notch. <\/p>\n
Seamus Coleman<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
Seamus Coleman leads the pack by a considerable distance \u2013 he joined Everton all the way back in 2009. For reference, Max Dowman \u2013 who scored in a Premier League game against the Toffees this season \u2013 had not even been born by that point. <\/p>\n
Outside of a brief loan spell at Blackpool in 2010, Coleman has been with Everton ever since. In that time, the Republic of Ireland icon has made 372 Premier League appearances for the Merseyside giants. <\/p>\n
He is now 37 years old and has only played in three league games this season. With his contract due to expire in the summer, it might be time to say goodbye to this stalwart of the Premier League.<\/p>\n
