Five key players who helped Manchester United to clinch their 19th Premier League title: EPL Feature
Manchester United knocked http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736’s 73rd minute strike helped United to clinch a point and crown them as the Champions of English Premier League once again.
Several Pundits criticised United’s credentials of winning the league before the start of the 2010/11 campaign but the Champions silenced all critics by becoming the most successful club in the county. The Red Devils’ squad had a mixture of both youth and experience and everyone contributed their fair share in the success. However, there were some notable performances that helped United to lift the title and we will discuss the players who made it happen.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nemanja-Vidic-c27550
Vidic was named as the club http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chris-c9006 Smalling. The former Spartak Moscow defender has kept 19 clean sheets in the league this season and has played a pivotal role in guiding United to win the Premier League title.
Edwin Van Der Sar
Along with Vidic, Van Der Sar was a main stay of United’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Defence-c38904 this season. Despite being 40-year-old, the Dutchman has been as consistent as ever. The former Ajax goalkeeper announced to retire after the 2010/11 campaign and has been really solid between the sticks for the Red Devils. The former Fulham shot-stopper made 33 league appearances for the Red Devils this season and pulled off some stunning saves in crucial games. Replacing the Dutchman will be a tall order for United because of the high standards he has kept throughout his career.
Ryan Giggs
The Evergreen http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ryan-Giggs-c31985 won his 12th Premier League title with the club and he still looks like a 21-year-old playing on the pitch. The veteran has once again played a huge part in guiding United to the title and his solid tackling, tireless work-rate and clever runs are still terrifying the opponents. The Welshman made 25 league appearances for the Champions this season and has fit in the central midfield and left midfield role quite effectively. The 37-year-old has featured in all Premier League competitions since its inception in 1992 and his goal against Newcastle United in the opening game of the campaign ensured him as the only player to score in all league seasons.
Javier Hernandez ‘Chicharito’
Hernandez has been a revelation for United in the current season. The Mexican was purchased for a minimal fee of £6 million from Mexican club, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dimitar-Berbatov-c11254, to the bench. Hernandez scored 13 goals in 27 league games he has played this season and was inspirational in United’s success.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nani-c27299
The Portuguese international struggled to adapt to the conditions in his first couple of seasons with the club. Since the departure of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Real-c30728 Madrid, Nani has taken the responsibility of making surging runs down the flanks and has tormented the oppositions with his pace and trickery. The 23-year-old enjoyed his best season with the club and scored nine goals in the league and carried the burden for United in the early part of the season when Rooney was missing. Nani setup several goals too and had the highest number of assists in the campaign with 18 assists to his name.
