Manchester Untied – Probable line-up for the season 2011/2012 (Part 1)
Manchester United managed to surprise everyone as they won the English Premier League with a squad which was quite average compared to the rest of the teams in the League. Individually, the Red Devils were definitely not better players than the top four
teams in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749; however, they were simply brilliant as a team.
Sir Alex Ferguson played a team which was totally balanced. They had an extraordinary defence, an average midfield but an extraordinary attack. Wayne Rooney, Luis Nani and Ryan Giggs formed an amazing partnership up front and with the inclusion of Javier
“Chicharito” Hernandez, scoring goals was relatively easier.
The defence was simply extraordinary throughout the season. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Patrice-Evra-c29231 played on the left.
The only replacement for Evra throughout the season was Rafael’s twin brother http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Da Silva.
The midfield had to suffer a lot throughout the season. With John O’Shea filling out in defence, especially after the retirement of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 dropped back to play in a deeper,
behind-the-striker role while Luis Nani and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Valencia-c6345 played on the flanks.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 done for his team, his injury kept him out for a few weeks and he
lost the first team spot in Manchester United.
Ji Sung Park was given the opportunity to play in the midfield and even on the wings while Javier Hernandez and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dimitar-Berbatov-c11254 played up front as sole strikers while Wayne Rooney was not so lucky in finding the back of the net for most of the season. Moreover,
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Owen-c25355 was also an option to replace the two strikers in the front.
Even though all these players are not the best in the world, they still managed to win the Premier League and it was mostly because of their manager Sir Alex Ferguson. He played a different 4-4-1-1 formation throughout the season with Wayne Rooney filling
in for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-Scholes-c29394 while Michael Carrick and Darren Fletcher played in the centre of the park.
For the first half of the season it was http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nani-c27299 on the left and right flank respectively. However, Antonio Valencia replaced Luis Nani for the second half of the season and played on the right flank while Ryan Giggs played on the left. Giggs
could play each and every game because of his age so Luis Nani and Ji Sung Park were the two players who often appeared in the left wing role.
With Wayne Rooney playing right behind the striker, Dimitar Berbatov played as the poacher for the first half of the season. However, Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez replaced Berbatov and managed to make a space for himself in the first team as he often found
the back of the net for the Premier League Giants.
