Djemba-Djemba rose to prominence with FC Nantes, in France. His impressive performances as a feisty and uncompromising tackler for the French club earned him a dream move to Manchester United in the summer of 2003. Arriving in England, Djemba-Djemba was a complete unknown to many fans and pundits alike. He wasted no time in establishing his ultra-aggressive style during his debut against Arsenal in the Community Shield, leaving an impression - literally - on Arsenal's Sol Campbell with a typically rambunctious challenge which Arsène Wenger called "obscene".

In 18 months at Old Trafford, Djemba-Djemba never fully established himself as a player capable of filling captain Roy Keane's shoes. It did not help Djemba-Djemba's cause that United were in a period of transition and he was constantly being rotated in and out of the team with a number of other potential suitors to Keane's midfield mantle, as coach Sir Alex Ferguson searched for a worthy successor to his captain. Old Trafford (given the nickname The Theatre of Dreams by Sir. ...

Djemba-Djemba was sold to Aston Villa in the January 2005 transfer window for a fee of £1,500,000. However, the move did little to restore the player's reputation as he found it difficult to move ahead of Gavin McCann and Steven Davis in Villa's midfield pecking order. A possible switch to La Liga in Spain has been speculated. After being played only once, as a late substitute, by new Villa manager Martin O'Neill on the first day of the 2006-2007 season, Djemba-Djemba was loaned out to Championship club Burnley for the remainder of the season in the January transfer window.
