Manchester United’s midfield duo Anderson and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson with a few options in the centre of the park.
How United have been able to sustain their title bid without a top class midfielder for majority of the season is bewildering. From the loss to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Darren-Fletcher-c10361 to Anderson’s untimely injury, things for the Red Devils have been far from ideal in midfield.
Brazilian International Anderson was perhaps one of the most influential players in the opening exchanges of the League, forming an explosive partnership with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tom-Cleverley-c35218, which allowed the side to play some truly stunning football.
However an injury restricted him to the treatment table and United had to made do with what they had at their disposal, even playing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 in the centre of the park due to a lack of options.
Things quickly changed with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 man cannot be relied upon to orchestrate proceedings every week.
Ferguson then turned his attention towards http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Anderson-c5565 and Academy star Paul Pogba to guide the Reds to title number twenty.
While they have managed to achieve significant success given the quality of their squad, Fergie has been dealt with a big blow following the injury to Pogba and Anderson.
Having not featured since the game against Athletic Bilbao, the former Porto man has had a recurrence of a troublesome hamstring problem, which is sure to restrict his outings till next season.
"I don't think he'll play again this season," Sir Alex Ferguson was quoted as saying on the club’s official website.
"There are only four games left and it will be difficult for him."
The veteran manager, though, had other good news, as he revealed that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Owen-c25355 had returned to training and could feature before the season closes.
Furthermore, Ashley Young should be raring to go when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Everton-c39043 visit Old Trafford this weekend, but it remains to be seen whether the Scot plays the English winger due to his recent diving reports.
