How the arrival of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wesley-Sneijder-c36799 will affect the Manchester United line-up (Part 2)
Sir Alex Ferguson really had to go through selection crises whenever he had to play a good midfield. The Brazilian midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Darren-Fletcher-c10361 suffered with a few injuries
during the last season and he rarely made first team appearances.
Paul Scholes was not played throughout the season as Sir Alex Ferguson featured a new 4-4-1-1 formation rather than a traditional 4-4-2. The formation basically changed because of the underperforming Manchester United star Wayne Rooney. However, with the
English striker falling deep into the midfield, he improved and came back in form.
The Manchester United legend, Ryan Giggs featured in the left wing position but with Sir Alex Ferguson running out of options in the midfield, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Carrick-c25282 was given a lot of first team chances throughout the season
and the Englishman played in his favourite holding midfield role.
The right wing position was taken by Luis Nani as the season started; however, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nani-c27299 featured in the left wing position for most of the
season. However, with Park Ji Sung making a return to the English club, he was played on the left as well.
With a 4-4-1-1 formation, it meant that there was a sole striker for the Premier League side with a player positioned right behind the striker. As the season kicked off, the sole striker was Dimitar Berbatov. However, the Mexican star Javier Hernandez picked
up great form towards the second half of the season and Dimitar Berbatov was benched while Wayne Rooney featured right behind the striker.
Sir Alex Ferguson had a lot of players to play in the striker’s role. While http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-Scholes-c29394 fell right behind him as the aiding striker. The same could be practiced with Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez and
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dimitar-Berbatov-c11254 playing up front.
Sir Alex Ferguson also had the experienced English striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Owen-c25355 on the bench and he could also play in the striker’s position.
Sir Alex Ferguson rarely changed his formation throughout the season. The only time he did change it was during Arsenal’s fixture when, instead of fielding a 4-4-1-1, he played a 4-5-1 to outnumber the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 players in the midfield.
In a 4-5-1 formation, Michael Carrick and Paul Scholes played in the midfield while Wayne Rooney played as the sole striker. Ryan Giggs aided the team in the centre of the pitch while Ji Sung Park played on the left wing position.
Even though all these players are not brilliant individually, Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson still managed to keep his side at the top of the Premier League table. Experts all around the world acknowledged how Sir Alex Ferguson managed to win this Premier League title
and also took his team to the final of the UEFA Champions League.
