The squad: Goalkeepers

http://picsrv.manutd.com/?fif=/manu/img_10_19840.jpg&obj=iip,1.0&wid=160&hei=120&rgn=0,0,0,0&cvt=jpeg http://picsrv.manutd.com/?fif=/manu/img_10_24199_2206.jpg&obj=iip,1.0&wid=160&hei=120&rgn=0,0,0,0&cvt=jpeg http://picsrv.manutd.com/?fif=/manu/img_10_24226_9371.jpg&obj=iip,1.0&wid=160&hei=120&rgn=0,0,0,0&cvt=jpeg

With the big kick-off looming, we asked Reds assistant Mike Phelan for his expectations of each established first-team player, starting with the goalkeepers…

1 Edwin van der Sar Age 38 Appearances 191
"Edwin’s probably the most experienced player in the team, so we’ll miss him in the first two months of the campaign. He’ll probably set his own targets in terms of what he wants to achieve this term, but he knows how highly we regard him as a goalkeeper at Manchester United. I think he’ll be looking forward to getting back playing again as soon as possible. Both Edwin and the club have been a good marriage. He was a terrific goalkeeper when he joined us but I think he’s made further progress since he arrived. Each year he seems to go up a level, he’s seen and done it all so he’s a major asset to us."

12 Ben Foster Age 26 Appearances 11
"Ben came into the game a little later than most goalkeepers, but has tremendous potential. He still has a lot of work to do in all the departments but he’s getting the right coaching at this club and he has a good person to learn from in Edwin. Ben’s a strong-willed character and has a firm idea about where he wants to be and how quickly he wants to get there – now it’s just a matter of time before he really shows his credentials. He’s been unlucky with a few injuries and he’s had a bit of a stop-start career, but he’s working hard now and I think he sees light at the end of the tunnel. That’s what he’s working towards. And the fact that he’s now progressing into the England international setup has probably encouraged him to work even harder."

29 Tomasz Kuszczak Age 27 Appearances 37
"I think Tomasz is probably the first Polish player to join this club and he’s accepted those responsibilities extremely well. He’s at a club where every goalkeeper is challenging for the no.1 spot and he’s certainly one of those who’s in with a shout. And whenever he’s been called upon he’s performed to the highest quality. I’m sure he’ll be pushing on from where he left off last season."

Glove story

Edwin has indicated that this could be his last season at Old Trafford and, with the Dutchman out of action for two months with a broken finger and hand, these first few weeks of the campaign are an important time for Tomasz and Ben to establish themselves.

The squad: Defenders

http://picsrv.manutd.com/?fif=/manu/img_10_30224_5706.jpg&obj=iip,1.0&wid=480&hei=179&rgn=0.04238921001926782,0.029023746701846965,0.924 8554913294797,0.47229551451187335&cvt=jpeg

The big kick-off is edging ever closer, and Reds assistant Mike Phelan continues his assessment of the established first-team players. Next up, defenders...

2 Gary Neville Age 34 Appearances 569 Goals 7
Gary’s one of the most experienced players we have at this club – he’s worn every shirt and won every medal so he needs to keep setting new challenges for himself. I think every game he plays now he’ll treat with the utmost respect. He’s committed to the cause, full of endeavour and he’ll be looking for an injury-free season.

21 Rafael Age 19 Appearances 28 Goals 1
Rafael has been inspirational. He instantly connected with the fans and showed an enthusiasm that’s required for a footballer at United. But he has a lot of progress to make and there are still things in his game he’s learning. He’ll gain that knowledge here – he’s intelligent, a quick learner and he wants to be a winner. Mentally he’s very strong and committed and he’s taken great strides in a short period of time. He’ll be looking to progress again and try and make the right back spot his own.

22 John O’Shea Age 28 Appearances 343 Goals 14
John’s one of the most underestimated footballers at the club. He’s an ever-present in the squad and always willing to do the job asked of him. He trains exceptionally hard and nobody has a bad word about his attitude. He’s a winner and loves being around the club, which is what we love. It’s great to see John progressing – he’s a regular international now and his main aim will be to cement a regular place in the team. John’s versatility is a credit to him. Some say it can go against you but John has a strong mental approach to football. Whenever he’s picked he performs at the highest level.

5 Rio Ferdinand Age 30 Appearances 311 Goals 7
Rio has found the club that really suits him. He’s found stability and a club that has been able to really bring the best out of him. He brings a quality to our defending that not a lot of other clubs have. That’s the reason we invested so much time, effort and money to bring him here. There are some good centre backs in England but Rio’s been producing consistently high performances for years now.

15 Nemanja Vidic Age 27 Appearances 153 Goals 12
Vida and Rio’s partnership has been second to none over the last few seasons and Nemanja had a particularly good season last term. He’s strong, powerful and we think he can get even better. He’s aggressive and has a real defender’s mentality. He does that job well and at times he probably goes a little bit unseen, but he’s extremely committed to the cause. He also contributes at the other end from set-pieces because he attacks the ball so well.

6 Wes Brown Age 29 Appearances 318 Goals 4
Wes missed very few games when we won the Premier League and Champions League trophies in the 2007/08 campaign. But last year he was really unlucky with injuries, missing most of the campaign. But he's worked hard over the summer and, despite a recent set-back, we look forward to having him back in the team now.

23 Jonny Evans Age 21 Appearances 38 Goals 0
Jonny is a tall and very solid defender. He has good mental strength, too, and a strong work ethic which has helped him reach the level he is at now. He's also a very intelligent lad, both on and off the field. He's good with the ball at his feet and the great thing for us is that he complements both Rio and Nemanja.

3 Patrice Evra Age 28 Appearances 147 Goals 2
Patrice is probably now establishing himself as one of the best left backs in Europe. That’s a credit to the effort he’s put in since arriving in England. He’ll be the first to tell you that he initially found life a little difficult in England and the Premier League a little daunting. But after a short spell he adapted magnificently and everyone can see he’s a fine player. In the modern game, full backs play a big part in winning football matches and Patrice has all the skills in his armoury to be a complete player. He can drive forward, he can defend well, he’s fantastic in the air… and he’s developed all these attributes here at this club.

THE STRIKERS - A COACH'S VIEW

Assistant manager Mick Phelan assesses the merits of four United forwards...

7 Michael Owen Age 29 Appearances 1 Goals 0
At this stage of his career I think Michael's excited to be part of something that he sees as befitting his talent. He has exceptional qualities as a striker and I think he’ll fit into our style of play very, very well. We’re very happy to have him here.

9 Dimitar Berbatov Age 28 Appearances 44 Goals 14
Berba’s highly skilful and technically gifted. He’s very highly regarded here and I think now, having got over his first season with us, he’ll really produce the goods.

10 Wayne Rooney Age 23 Appearances 238 Goals 98
Wayne’s been a star from day one and he’s having to maintain that now every day. I think we’ve only seen a small part of what he is all about but I think he’s maturing now, he’s a little bit wiser, and this year he’ll bring all his qualities to the table.

41 Federico Macheda Age 17 Appearances 5 Goals 2
There’s still a lot of development to take place with Kiko but he’s incredibly talented. His goal against Villa made him an overnight star and the key for us is to nurture his talent correctly and manage the expectations that come with such a meteoric rise.

The squad: Midfielders

http://picsrv.manutd.com/?fif=/manu/img_10_30176_1823.jpg&obj=iip,1.0&wid=480&hei=179&rgn=0.02495201535508637,0.0712401055408971,0.92130 51823416507,0.47229551451187335&cvt=jpeg

Assistant manager Mick Phelan continues his four-part assessment of the United squad, player by player, with this look at the lads in the midfield ranks...

13 Ji-sung Park Age 28 Appearances 124 Goals 12
Ji is another one of those unsung heroes. His energy levels are fantastic, his work-rate immense. He’s also very committed to the cause and a real team player. If there’s one thing we’re looking for him to do more of it’s score goals. But he’s working on that, he’s trying a few things out and I’m confident that aspect of his game will improve this season. Ji’s incredibly valuable and when he’s given a specific role he carries it out to the letter. He’s very intelligent and I think he benefitted from his time in Dutch football. He’s very tactically aware. Sometimes all that gets overseen though – there’s more to Ji than his work-rate.

16 Michael Carrick Age 28 Appearances 145 Goals 12
Michael’s incredibly gifted technically, can use both his left and right feet, has very good vision and, more and more, is able to dictate the pace of games. He’s really starting to progress and become more of a force within the group. He’s now consistently producing performances that exceed those of when he first arrived at the club. He’s quite a laidback guy on the outside but inside he’s full of belief and confidence.

24 Darren Fletcher Age 25 Appearances 215 Goals 13
I think Fletch was easily our most improved player last season – he really came to the fore. He’s more commanding and his personality is really starti ng to come out in the squad. Last year he really stamped his authority on a few of the big games and developed an ability to drive the team forwards. In the end, I think we may have missed him in Rome. In previous seasons he found it hard to get a good run of games but he’s gone away and worked very hard and contributed a lot to his own game, which has benefited both himself and the team.

8 Anderson Age 21 Appearances 76 Goals 0
Ando’s very, very talented. He has the Brazilian mentality towards football. He wants to play every week and do all the work but he’s had to learn what it takes to be a Premier League player in England. It’s a little different to what he was used to in Portugal. I think there’s a lot more to come from Ando and I think he’ll really push himself this season. He’s not scored yet so a goal would really be something to treasure! Ando’s still developing as a player. He was a young star before he came to Manchester United, but here he’s just one of many talented footballers. It might take a little more time before he becomes a star at United but everything’s there for him to achieve that but all the ingredients are there.

11 Ryan Giggs Age 35 Appearances 805 Goals 148
Ryan doesn’t need much of an introduction – he’s done everything in the game and yet he still has a huge desire to win. He’s had an immense career and any plaudits Ryan gets are richly deserved. He has this ability to keep going and to keep challenging himself and I think that’s inspirational. We started playing him regularly in the centre of midfield last season after we started to look at the best way we could make the most of Ryan’s talents. Obviously he’s lost a bit of pace over the years but we felt he had all the attributes required to play in the centre of the park, and I think we’ve been proved correct.

17 Nani Age 22 Appearances 73 Goals 11
Nani is a player who we’re now hoping he’ll begin to produce consistently well for United. He’s shown glimpses of what he can do but we now need him to move forward and start commanding games a bit more. He’s someone we bought because we saw some very, very good aspects in his game. And sometimes it’s easy to forget that he’s still very young and it can take time to adapt to the English game.

25 Antonio Valencia Age 24 Appearances 1 Goals 0
We haven’t had an awful lot of time to see him – he didn’t come on our pre-season tour because he’d played internationals in the summer – but he’s someone who’s performed at a very high level for Wigan over the last few seasons and we expect the same here. We want him to be adaptable, we want him bring us something new. That’s why we’ve invested in him and he’s someone we believe can add something to us. He understands the rigours of Premier League football and now he has a fresh challenge: playing for Manchester United.

18 Paul Scholes Age 34 Appearances 606 Goals 142
Scholesy’s another who’s extremely experienced. He’s a fabulous footballer. Off the pitch he’s quiet, laidback and never chases the limelight – he lets his football do the talking. Some of the football he’s produced during his career has been of the very highest quality. I think you have to put him up there as one of the best players in the world. This season I think Scholesy’s looking to cement himself in his position on a more consistent basis. His assets are very valuable to us and he brings something that no other player brings – he has a real gift and, like Giggsy, he still wants to perform at the highest level.

The squad: Strikers

http://picsrv.manutd.com/?fif=/manu/img_10_30284_6852.jpg&obj=iip,1.0&wid=480&hei=179&rgn=0,0.03353057199211045,0.9917355371900827,0.353 0571992110454&cvt=jpeg

Completing our in-depth look at United's squad ahead of today's opening match at OT, Mike Phelan assesses the Reds' established strikers...

10 Wayne Rooney Age 23 Appearances 238 Goals 98
Wayne’s been a star from day one and he’s having to maintain that now every day. He’ll be eager to develop as a footballer. He’s not the finished article yet – there’s more to come from him. I think we’ve only seen a small part of what Wayne Rooney is all about. I think he’s maturing now, he’s a little bit wiser, and this year he’ll bring all his qualities to the table.

9 Dimitar Berbatov Age 28 Appearances 44 Goals 14
Berba’s highly skilful and technically gifted. He’s certainly different to any other player at the club. He does have a certain element of mystery or elusiveness about him and some people don’t know how to take that. But it all adds to his character. He’s very highly regarded here and I think now, having got over his first season with Manchester United, he’ll really produce the goods.

7 Michael Owen Age 29 Appearances 1 Goals 0
Michael’s like a new kid on the block. He’s another player who’s contributed to the game of football immensely. At this stage of his career I think he’s excited to be part of something that he sees as befitting his talent. He has exceptional qualities as a striker and I think he’ll fit into our style of play very, very well. He certainly fits in with the group of players – there are no concerns there. He’ll hopefully score a lot of goals for us and he’ll do it with a smile on his face because he’s very excited to be here. He’s keen to repeat the feats he’s achieved in the past and we’re very happy to have him here.

27 Federico Macheda Age 17 Appearances 5 Goals 2
Kiko’s a young man who’s hit the ground running. He made an impact on his debut but people need to realise he won’t score last-minute winners every week. We can’t judge him on one performance or one goal – we need to see him produce the goods consistently at the highest level. There’s still a lot of development to take place with Kiko but he’s incredibly talented. That goal he scored against Aston Villa made him an overnight superstar and the key for us is to nurture his talent correctly and manage the expectations that come with that meteoric rise to fame.

Mid-season report 2010/11

By Ed. Sun, Jan 2, 2011

Latest

Manchester United turn the year leading the Premier League, comfortably qualified for the Champions League knock-out stages and unbeaten – at least in the competitions that matter. On the surface Sir Alex Ferguson’s side reaches the mid-point of the season in prime place to challenge on three fronts come the spring.

But United’s story is just a little more nuanced than that of course.

The Reds’ single defeat this season, in the Carling Cup quarter-final to West Ham United last month, was no disaster; seven draws in the Premier League could have been. Fortunately United’s domestic inconsistency, especially away from home, is matched elsewhere, with Chelsea blowing a five point lead six weeks ago, Arsenal brittle and Manchester City far too conservative.

Tougher tests will follow though, with United yet to visit Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool or Tottenham Hotspur in the league and the fragile nature of United’s midfield still potentially exposed.

In Europe, United drew arguably the easiest of first round groups, with Rangers and Bursaspor two of the weakest teams in the competition and Valencia a shadow of the side that almost threatened Real Madrid and Barcelona’s domestic hegemony. Certainly Marseille, whom beat Chelsea in the group stages, will offer a stern although not insurmountable challenge in the first knockout round. The Spanish giants are palpably better than United though and a quarter-final date with either will surely spell United’s demise.

Aside from an annoying habit of shipping late goals, the side’s real problem – the one identified by almost every fan, pundit and media outlet at the season’s start – is the lack of creativity at the heart of central midfield. Call it Glazernomics, call it lack of value in the market, call it poor planning but the decision not to strengthen may well come back to bite come the season’s end. 7/10

Sir Alex Ferguson
Entering his 70th year, with more than 24 years at United’s helm, Ferguson still has the strength of will and desire to drive the club forward even in times of economic uncertainty. Arguably, the Scot has the weakest squad at his disposal in the past five years – off-the-field distractions and injuries to key players have hardly helped either. But Ferguson has consistently generated more than the sum of this squad’s parts and proven a tactical innovator. This is no vintage United side but it is hard to beat. 7/10

Edwin van der Sar
The great Dutchman just keeps on going despite passing 40 years of age. Retirement may well come in June, although there seems little physical impeding van der Sar from continuing should he choose to do so. Mistakes have crept into his game at times, although very rarely as catastrophic as the one which gifted West Bromwich Albion at goal at Old Trafford in October. 6/10

Tomasz Kuszczak
The Pole in Goal will surely move on, if not this January, then in the summer following Anders Lindegaard’s acquisition. Rarely a disaster but very obviously not of United quality either. Kuszczak’s five appearances this season have offered little more than van der Sar some rest. 5/10

Rafael da Silva
Inconsistency and injury dogged the Brazilian youngster’s first two seasons at the club, with the disastrous red card against Bayern Munich last season almost certainly costing United a place in the Champions League semi-final. But the 20-year-old’s game has rapidly progressed during the autumn months to the extent that Rafael is now Ferguson’s first choice at right-back. Now one for the present not just the future. 7/10

Gary Neville
Nothing will take away Neville’s 600-plus games for United but there is little more depressing in sport than seeing a former great clearly beyond his best. Neville’s legs are shot and retirement is surely just months away. Cruel it may be but Neville’s four appearances this season are probably a quartet too many. 3/10

Rio Ferdinand
The England captain has seemingly overcome the persistent back and groin injuries that threatened the 32-year-old’s career at Old Trafford. United is much the better for Ferdinand’s involvement, whose performances have been consistent and calming. Ferdinand remains absolutely central to United’s success or failure this season. 7/10

Nemanja Vidic
With a new contract signed, fitness assured and the Serbian installed as team captain Vidic has produced the series of outstanding performances that place the 29-year-old among the very best central defenders in the world. Vidic’s form and especially his fitness will be essential to United’s progress at home and abroad. For now, Vidic has been outstanding. 9/10

Chris Smalling
The former Fulham defender has made a solid, if unspectacular start to his United career after the £10 million summer transfer. Appearances in both the Champions League and Carling Cup have shown the promise of a player who has plenty of pace, a strong touch and potentially outstanding passing skills. 5/10

Jonny Evans
What the Northern Irishman would do for a decent performance, perhaps even a partially incompetent one, such has been the defender’s form. Repeatedly out-muscled and often targeted, Evans has suffered the worst season in his short career with United. All is not lost but for now Evans might even benefit from a loan spell away from Old Trafford. 4/10

Patrice Evra
Such are the defender’s impeccably high standards that Evra fell some way short in the early weeks of the season. Put it down to a World Cup hangover, or fatigue after a 55 game season and a summer in South Africa, but Evra is finally rediscovering the form that placed the left-back among the very best in his position. 6/10

John O’Shea
Many is the time that supporters have wondered what the point of John O’Shea is. Not in some notional sense but in a very real, tangible, waste-of-oxygen kind of way. The Irishman has done little to change that feeling in another average campaign. Yet, Ferguson trusts the 29-year-old implicitly, proffering O’Shea with 14 outings this season and a rumoured £80,000 per week contract offer. 5/10

Antonio Valencia
It is hard to feel anything but sympathy for the Ecuadorian winger who broke his ankle so traumatically early in the season. Valencia will return in the spring and could offer United vital creativity as the season draws to a close. n/a

Nani
The Portuguese winger has come out of Cristiano Ronaldo’s shadow to produce a consistent, sometimes outstanding season. Frequently United’s primary creative outlet, Nani cannot emulate his compatriot for sheer destructive power but has become a vital cog in Ferguson’s machine. Getting better by the match, adding both more assists and more goals this season. 8/10

Paul Scholes
Outstanding in early season fixtures but found out when the opposition targets the 36-year-old for special treatment. Scholes still possesses all the skills of old but is a liability against more physical opposition. Still United’s most creative midfielder though and a vital part of the squad until injury struck in November. 6/10

Michael Carrick
Briefly, for about seven or eight games during the late autumn, Carrick emerged from an 18-month rut that marked the Geordie down for an Old Trafford exit. The former Spurs midfielder’s ability to recycle or retain possession is potentially central to United’s cause. Yet there is still the nagging feeling that Carrick is a long way short of his best. 5/10

Anderson
The Brazilian is perhaps, just perhaps, coming into his own more than three years into his Old Trafford career. Recent performances have demonstrated what Anderson can be – powerful, aggressive, with a burst of pace that can change games. Yet, Anderson is still wasteful in possession – giving away a quarter of attempted passes – and offers far too little end product in terms of assists or goals. 6/10

Darren Fletcher
After two years of outstanding displays Fletcher’s performances have been far more muted this season, to the extend that the Scot is not always an automatic first team pick. Yet, Fletcher will certainly be chosen for the biggest games and against Arsenal proved just why the 26-year-old has gone from Old Trafford pariah to Ferguson’s most important midfielder. 6/10

Darron Gibson
The Derry Dynamo is neither dynamic nor making any progress at Old Trafford. Now 23-years-old, Gibson possesses an outstanding long-range shot but little else that marks the Irishman out as a potential United star. Wasteful in possession, with a poor first touch and s l o w, why is Gibson still at the club? 4/10

Ryan Giggs
More than 800 games into his United career and the Welshman is still a valuable part of United’s squad. Injury aside, Giggs will play perhaps one in three United games. It might well be enough to earn the 37-year-old a final season at Old Trafford in 2011/12. 5/10

Gabriel Obertan
Now 18 months into a spell at Old Trafford and fans know little more than the day Obertan joined the club. The Frenchman has decent feet but seemingly little understanding of the game. Rarely used and 22-years-old in February, now is the time for Obertan to break through or move on. 4/10

Park Ji-Sung
Such is the South Korean’s enigma that a string of poor passes and lost possession is invariably followed by a crucial goal. Objectively Park simply doesn’t have enough talent to make it at United. Nearly 200 games for the club and six goals this season might say otherwise. Certainly Park offers more from a central position than wide. The problem is that he’s invariably wide left – the coward’s winger. 6/10

Bébé
The Portuguese forward is far from ready for regular first team action and a long way off justifying the £8.3 million it cost United to bring him to the club. But Bébé has shown glimpses of talent – pace, strength and finishing skills, although his best position is still to be determined. Remains the strangest transfer of the Ferguson era. 4/10

Wayne Rooney
The former Evertonian described 2010 as a “nightmare” – if only that were true. Sadly, Rooney’s terrible form is very real; the worst year of his career to date. Moreover, the striker’s off-the-field behaviour – drinking, smoking, hookers and contract ‘negotiations’ – have left a very sour taste in many supporters mouths. Needs a big 2011 to go along with the massive contract. 3/10

Dimitar Berbatov
How fickle is the nature of form. Berbatov would almost certainly have left in the summer had a suitable buyer been found. Today, United’s season rests on the Bulgarian striker’s goals, with 14 plundered to date. Yet, after a burst of seven goals in as many games at the season’s start, Berbatov went more than 10 without a goal. Eight have followed in the last four games. Consistency is now the key to the striker’s season. 8/10

Javier Hernández
The Mexican’s eight goals in all competitions do not tell the story. Hernández’ start to his United career and supporters’ reaction have both been positive. The question now is whether the 22-year-old can step up to the next level and cement a place in Ferguson’s starting XI. 6/10

Federico Macheda
The Italian teenager certainly has talent and a penchant for a brilliant finish – supporters have just seen too little of him. There’s little doubt Macheda has the raw ingredients to make a fine number nine. Now a spell away from Old Trafford could make or break his United career. 4/10

Michael Owen
Still living off that goal against Manchester City last season. In truth Owen has offered very little to United save for the odd Carling Cup goal and a rash of medical bills. Almost certain to depart when his contract runs out in June. 4/10

Menunggu vale segera bermain kembali...
