Luiz fell out with with former Chelsea boss, Antonio Conte last season, after his side’s 3-0 defeat to Roma in the Champions League in October. The 31-year-old was dropped from Chelsea’s starting XI by Conte. The Brazilian has, however, become a regular starter under new manager, Maurizio Sarri this term, and Keown believes Luiz’s creativity will play a key role for the West London club to be successful this campaign. “Luiz holds the key to Chelsea being successful this season,” Keown told Daily Mail. “He has already improved a great deal but there is still work to do. “He was at fault for the goal which put United 2-1 ahead when he flew out of the defensive line to challenge Juan Mata.

(Photo by Marco BERTORELLO / AFP) / ALTERNATIVE CROP Cristiano Ronaldo will always be fondly remembered at Old Trafford, but as the five-time Ballon d’Or winner rolls back into town this week, this former hero may be the last sight Manchester United want to see.
